Every Wednesday PFFSU students have electives. They are lucky to have an exceptional selection to choose from including Dungeons and Dragons, Creative writing, Drama, Chess, Music, Biking and Sewing. This year we are also offering cooking taught by our Spanish teacher Vanessa. The students love cooking class. They have learned how to make tortillas, cake, pancakes, eggs, omelettes, ramen and pasta. The smell in the hallway is delicious. It is wonderful to see students get so excited to share the tasty treats they have made.

Families and friends of Paulo Freire Freedom school should note that we have changed our schedule this year. We ended up with a very large 8th grade cohort and in order to assure productive learning spaces we revised our schedule to include more class blocks with fewer students.
