Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

215 children and their families will actively participate in the art of storytelling through family workshops, classroom visits, and our end of the year family event. Family surveys will show that the majority of respondents have a better understanding of how the art of storytelling can help support and enhance their child's development. After the school year has concluded and our end of the year event has been held, we will send out family surveys to measure our outcome goals. Our program will also rely on feedback from artists and staff.

Measurable Outcome(s)

178 children enjoyed readings by guest authors, participated in creating their own theatrical stories, and were contributing authors to their classrooms books. 140 parents and grandparents attended our Family Lore parent workshop. eight different artists, of age ranging from 16-72, showcased their talent to children, staff and families, Over 400 people attended our End of Year Event.
