We are the story we tell ourselves. In 2019, parents and school leaders began exploring ways to create a storytelling and story-capturing culture to enable deep, authentic and consistent connection within the school community. When the pandemic hit, the school community had developed its own version of The Moth (radio storytelling), doubling down on storytelling to deepen the sense of connection and belonging among its parents and in its community. Join us to learn how a Jewish day school created a schoolwide initiative involving parents, teachers, students, staff, administrators and board members.
