Thanks to our generous and involved Freedom Families who attended and volunteered to make our Turkey Bingo event a success! We gathered so many donations to help Fill the Dome and our Freedom Families won over 300 in gift cards and 2 turkeys!

Welcome to the Freedom Elementary School PTA! Here you will learn about all of the wonderful things parents and teachers do to enrich the educational experiences of the children at Freedom Elementary School.

What is the PTA?
We are a local Parent Teacher Association that is organized by interested parents and teachers. It is a PTA organized under the authority of North Dakota Congress of Parents and Teachers (NDPTA), a branch of National Congress of Parents and Teachers (National PTA).  The Freedom Elementary School PTA has bylaws that govern the operation and five officers that ensure things run smoothly.

Our Mission

• To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship,
• To raise the standards of home life,
• To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth,
• To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth
• To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education

Meetings
Join us at our next meeting! All parents and teachers are welcome to attend the PTA meetings. Each meeting is held on the second Monday or Tuesday of each month at 6:30PM in the school media center. Childcare is provided during meetings.
