The Freeport Public Schools Board of Education meeting on Jan. 22 celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of students across the district.
The meeting began with an enthusiastic welcome from the kindergarten students of Columbus Avenue Early Childhood Center. They greeted each board of education member, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Fia P. Davis and district administrators before delivering a heartwarming and lively performance of “Play Another Happy Song” by Mike Wilson, delighting everyone in attendance.
Following the students of Columbus, the board of education proudly recognized the Freeport High School varsity cheerleading team for their remarkable achievements at the Nassau County Gameday Cheerleading Championship and the New York State Cheerleading Championships.
“Freeport athletics, and particularly our varsity cheerleading team, exemplify excellence, dedication and a true spirit of sportsmanship,” said Dr. Davis. “Their commitment, hard work and passion for cheer has led the team to incredible achievements and they continue to inspire us. The cheerleading team’s success reflects the outstanding support from coaches, families and peers, and we are beyond proud of them.”
At the Nassau County Gameday Cheerleading Championship, the team delivered an impressive performance, earning an 88.6 for their routine after being named runners-up in last year’s competition. Additionally, the team showcased their talent and determination by securing third place at the New York State Cheerleading Championships in November.
“We are proud to recognize our varsity cheerleading team for their achievements this fall. Our team is one of the best in our district, Nassau County and even New York State,” said Jonathan Bloom, director of health, physical education, athletics and safety education. “I want to thank the coaches, students, and their families for their dedication to making our cheerleading team so exceptional.”
