Underclassmen are ready for another summer vacation and seniors can hardly wait to begin the new chapter that lies ahead. The school year is winding down but the activities and events at BECA sure haven’t.

The year at Freedom HS (FHS) is coming to a close, as underclassmen have only 17 full instructional days remaining. That number is even lower for seniors as they attempt to hold off “senioritis.” Still, there are plenty of activities to keep FHS students occupied throughout the final weeks of the second semester.

Spring is blooming as the school year begins to wind down. As the weather changes, the mood of the school is also changing. People are studying for finals, and having fun in their free time.
