💙 Freeman FFA Giving Project 💙

As part of a chapter service project, Freeman FFA members donated jackets to the United Way Care Closet in Yankton. These jackets will help keep individuals and families in our surrounding community warm during the winter months.

We are proud of our members for stepping up to serve others and showing what it means to live out the FFA motto—Living to Serve.

🎄 Freeman Community – we need your help! 🎄

Our amazing NHS elves are working hard to make Christmas bright for 40+ children right here in Freeman. 🎁✨

Each child receives 3–4 tags to cover their hygiene and clothing needs, along with 1–2 items they want to make their Christmas extra special. ❤️

The trees are up and gifts are coming in, but we still have about 60 tags unclaimed . With those unclaimed tags, we estimate about 12 students still need sponsors.

🌟 NHS elves are hoping to find 12 individuals or businesses to commit to a $100 sponsorship by Thursday, December 10th. 🌟

Our elves will be making phone calls, stopping by businesses, and spreading cheer wherever they go. You can also catch them at the Elementary Christmas Concert, where they’ll be taking donations and sharing festive spirit. 🎶🎄

If you’d like our elves to stop by your business, just comment on this post or send an email to kris.sweeter@k12.sd.us and they’ll be on their way! 🧝‍♂️✨

Last call for Popcorn Balls! The Junior Class is selling the World's Only Corn Palace Popcorn Balls as a Prom Fundraiser. If you've never had them, they are beyond delicious! Plus, they'd make great stocking stuffers!! They need to let the Corn Palace know tomorrow morning how many to order, so if anyone still wants to order any, today is your last chance. Please let a junior class member, Joyce Hora, or Heidi Schrag know know how many you'd like to order. 1 popcorn ball = $4, 5 popcorn balls = $18, 20 popcorn balls = $70 Thanks for your support of the Junior Class!!
