February 26 was a special day at Great Expectations School: it was finally warm enough to hold the annual Storytelling Campfire!
Storytelling is a powerful way to build community, pass down history, and share ideas, and students got to experience different kinds of story, from personal memories to tall tales, as they rotated through seven different storytelling stations.
Some of the highlights from the day came from our volunteer storytellers: students got to learn about birch bark with Karl Koster, try their hand at a lumberjack saw with Steve Robertsen, and listen to entertaining books with Kevin Kager. Thank you to everyone who made this favorite event possible!
