Utah Schools

This weekend will be the Thirtieth Annual Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.  During the days before the festival, several of us who will be telling at the festival are already here doing school visits.  I am here with Anne Rutherford, Bil Lepp, and Antonio Rocha.

Trish and I are with a fifth grade class.
We are going out to individual schools doing both performances and workshops for students and teachers.  I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in two elementary schools in Payson, Utah, and will continue the school visits next week after the Festival is over.

We have workshops as well as performances.

Yesterday all of the other Festival tellers arrived and today we had school children from third grade up to High School come here to the Festival site for a Storytelling field trip. We are told that by the time today is over more than eight thousand students will have had a storytelling performance this year through the Timpanogos Festival.

This has been a wonderful day and we all look forward to tomorrow.
