About Free Nation School

The Free Nation School is not your average country school for a number of reasons. The first reason is because the teachers (Pam and Ken Rieli) own and operate their own business called Phoenix Navigation and Guidance, which builds turbines, so the students learn about turbines as well. The second reason is because the students (myself included) do special projects in addition to their regular schooling. The third (and most important) reason is because they are environmentally geared.

Last week the students received a hands-on lesson on film making and writing scripts. They each wrote their own 60-second scripts and tested them out on a digital camcorder mounted on a tri-pod. The films were made in preparation of the "60 Seconds to save the earth" competition broadcast on "Current".
