I was delighted today to see and hear elementary students in JCPS delirious in laughter from the unique and creative story telling skills that author and story teller
, Donna Washington shared with multiple classes of students at the Clayton Center today. I will never see a stick of butter that I won’t think of a little boy with a very unusual name that was the main character of one of Ms. Washington’s story’s.
What a wonderful gift Ms. Washington shared with our students today.
Washington has been captivating audiences for more than 30 years with her vocal range, animated expressions, and vivid characterizations that bring folktales, literary stories, and personal narratives to life. She also offers workshops in storytelling, writing, education, and creative drama for librarians and educators. She was the featured performer in the Town of Clayton's inaugural Juneteenth celebration last summer.
