Just imagine… an evening of storytelling! Join us on Thursday, October 8th as we celebrate the magic of stories and bring our residency with Jeff Stockton to a close. The evening will unfold in two parts: first, we will gather in the school gym for a storytelling experience with Jeff Stockton. Then, we will explore various locations throughout the school, where you will have the opportunity to experience the creativity, imagination, and unique talents of your own family! We look forward to welcoming families at 6 pm in the school gym for an evening of stories, creativity, and fun!
Many thanks to our School Council/Riverbend Elementary Parent Society (REPS) for funding this residency!
