Sharing Summit & Festival at Children's Hospitals
Credit needs to go to Ramona Lucious for the idea. She emailed us on how she wanted to cover the cost of children admitted into the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. Instead, it was agreed that no price would be needed. It would be a new tradition that any children's hospital can share with the
families there the unlisted YouTube playlist including special cards with the QR code. Spread the word. People can view to June 15, 2022...so we can reach more children's hospitals with your help. Email us at info@storycrossroads.org.
95 Story Art Bags...for Students
While most of Parkside Elementary could attend in-person at the Murray City Park on May 10, 2022 (part of Summit & Festival), we still missed two grades: Kindergarten and 5th Grade. Thus, materials donated by Clever Octopus Creative Reuse Center as well as volunteer time from Kira Larkin made it possible so
they could create stories and/or games. We even had QR codes with a how-to video. |
All on June 11, 2022 (2 virtual, 1 in-person)
Three events landed on Saturday, June 11. In the morning, we have our 3rd in The Big Why Panel series called "Star Stories meet Humanities" with Dr. Brian
Sturm and Dr. Amy Sayle. The afternoon brings a collaborative performance that features our virtual workshop attendees to honor the 150th Anniversary of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Finally, the evening is our 60th House Concert featuring Lynn Wing where audience members are given a list of story titles and vote for what is performed...not knowing what genre to mood to really expect! We are grateful for the Barnson Family in Riverton, Utah to host. Click buttons for details/registration.
Thank You to our Past Presenters
