Cheese does not freeze particularly well - it tends to become very crumbly. Not a problem if you are talking about shredded cheese on pizza, definitely a problem if you want to freeze cheese for sandwiches.
I would use up that cheese by making a whole lot of burritos or casseroles of various sorts and freezing those rather than trying to freeze just the plain, sliced cheese.

I agree that you can freeze it , but it may become crumble somewhat when frozen in chunks . Might not be a problem with slices. Probably would freeze better in prepared dishes as one person suggested. Looking at the quanity you have that doesn't look real practical. How about sharing with friends or a food pantry or place that serves people in need?

yes you can freeze sliced cheese up to a month . make sure you get all the air out of the bag. thaw it out in the refrigerator.

You can, just put little sheets of wax paper in between the slices first. Then put them in ziplocks, squish the air out, seal and freeze. Otherwise they'll stick together while freezing, and you can't un-separate them well after thawing.
(Wanna throw some of that provolone my way? They left it off my order today.)

Yes but be sure to really seal it well. It may be a bit dryer than fresh but it will be fine. Remember really seal it in an air tight container or freezer bag.
