FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We Are All Teachers!
Ithaca Freeskool Announces Jam-Packed Summer Session

ITHACA, NY – May 9, 2012 – Ithaca Freeskool is excited to announce the  
2012 summer session spanning the months of June-August 2012. The  
Freeskool is a grassroots, all-volunteer community-building initiative  
that empowers people to teach and attend classes without cost.  
Primarily geared towards adults, anyone can teach and anyone can attend.
The summer calendar will be released at the Freeskool's Spring Social  
on May 18th from 6:30-9pm at The Shop. After the 18th, the calendars  
will be distributed throughout the community and listed online.  
Classes include "Affordable Housing Discussion Group," "People's Herb  
School," "Urban Homesteading Reading Group," "Know Your Rights Under  
OSHA," "Intro to Bioregional Mapping," "DIY Solar Oven Build" and many  
more.

"The Freeskool organizers and teachers are just people who want to see  
something happen, so we put the word out there and it happens. I love  
meeting new people through classes I offer, especially because the  
activities we gather around are things that we'd already be doing.  
Freeskool provides a platform for us to do them together," explains  
organizer McKenzie Jones-Rounds.

First-time teacher Shoshana Perry was inspired to offer a class after  
attending "Fermented Beverages" during the spring session. She shares,  
"There's no group like this is Ithaca that is open to the public and  
free! Its important to have non-monetized learning opportunities that  
welcome beginners and experienced folks alike!"
