“We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.” -Jimmy Neil Smith The 4th graders wrapped up their storytelling series with a @mothstories inspired Story Slam, where they shared their own true stories to an audience of peers and family members. We’ve listened to parents, teachers, and other community members share personal stories over the course of the year, building our knowledge of the world and our understanding of each other and what it means to be human. We have grown not only in understanding, but also in our ability to empathize and connect with others around us. We are putting our #innovation and #crosscultural #communication skills to use as storytellers! #srsisthebest #storytellers #community #themoth

Congratulations to our next school year’s leaders! #srsisthebest
