Tough day in Canton for the Wolves robotics. Made same allies from Mitchell to help in the future. Groton meet is next up in January.
Both Kaelie and Maggie competed today against some tough competitors from across the state. While neither one obtained a superior, they each gave fantastic performances. Look for more information in the Freeman Courier next week.
Lexie won a superior in storytelling. So proud of her.
There will be NO high school boys basketball practice this afternoon.
Due to the weather, today's middle school basketball games at Freeman are canceled. There is not a makeup date at this time. Thank you.
