Hank Williams remembers the aroma of fresh breads and cakes baking in the kitchen as it rose to his third-story classroom at Pasadena Elementary School when he first became a teacher.

“In the early days in the ?70s, they used to bake food in here, and the fragrance used to go all through the building,” said Williams, a fourth-grade teacher who?s taught in the 53-year-old building for 35 years.
