At the end of each of our
Streetside After School workshops, Streetside has a sharing day. On that day, students share the stories they created with Streetside for an audience of fellow students, parents, teachers and friends. They get recognition for being part of a community of storytellers, in the form of a certificate of achievement and lots of applause. Many of our older students even get a cash stipend for completing the program. Then everyone has pizza and juice.
This year, Streetside is having
at least 38 sharing days. Wow, that's a lot of
pizza!
Last week, we had a sharing day at
Glen Park Elementary in San Francisco, where we helped 60 kindergarten through second grade students become storytellers. All of these brave students got up on stage, shared stories and showed off the books they created.
