Gray is out at the Fremont Middle School and the Six Pillar colors are in. The school has painted the cafeteria walls red, orange, blue, purple, yellow, and green and added the corresponding Six Pillar terms. In the summer of 2004, school personnel started painting the hallways different Pillar colors, and the art teacher will further adorn the corridors with words and pictures. The teachers are also enriching the school by creating bulletin boards with quotes or words that show good character.

The week of January 24-28, 2005, the CC! Student Club took the lead for No Name Calling Week. Members created posters, lesson plans and contests, and held meetings that will help promote good character and prevent harassment and bullying.

The Fremont Middle School CC! program has joined the Lake County Transportation Department of Illinois in the Adopt-a-Highway Program. The CC! Student Club and Parent Club will clean up a two-mile stretch of roadway on Fremont Center Road. "There is a sign posted at each end of the highway that signifies our commitment as good citizens to help keep our highways clean," says Assistant Principal Jason Dietz.
