Driving Directions, School Accountability and Other School Data


 

Freese Elementary Magnet for Enhanced Literacy Through Arts and Culture provides a focus on learning through on-campus and community arts and cultural opportunities. In-class residencies in theatre, music, dance and visual arts, field trips, assemblies, and family workshops all enhance ways of learning and expand means of expression. All students create plays, poetry, photojournalism, and musical compositions — sharing their learning as storytellers, actors, and puppeteers.

Our staff includes a videographer who trains students to be researchers and producers, helping them create video documentaries and monthly news programs which require interviewing techniques and hands-on use of TV/video studio equipment. A full-time librarian teaches nonfiction, thematic study, readers’ workshop, research skills, and author and illustrator studies, as well as use of the library’s research computers.
