Freedom Public School

The Freedom Public School will update the school library into a 21st century learning center. This updated center will provide students with learning opportunities to grow their problem-solving skills and engage in cooperative and project-based learning. Staff will participate in professional development opportunities to support the transformation. They will develop a makerspace area within the library to help students develop critical thinking skills through Do-It-Yourself projects, STEM kits, and other activities. The library will also integrate technology to help students develop digital literacy. Library staff will host an after-school reading program to provide access to the library outside of traditional school hours. They will also support learning opportunities for students by providing activities, such as makerspace time, guest speakers and instructors, and author visits.
