8th Annual
Garner Targets the Arts -- Storytelling Festival
& Teacher Workshop

Update:  The Seventh Annual Garner Targets the Arts was a huge success!
Over 1200 students, parents, educators, and community members attended the Saturday, March 13th, educator workshop and community festival with 96 students performing as storytellers, poets, and singers and art work from dozens of students being displayed digitally.  During the preceding week, two of the professional storytellers, traveled to the schools to work with about 3000 students and teachers on literacy, reading, creativity, and public speaking skills and presented to an enthusiastic group one night at SER.

The eighth annual Garner Targets the Arts--Storytelling and Workshop will be Saturday, March 12, 2011, at North Garner Middle School (720 Powell Drive).  The educator workshop in the morning (8:15-11:30am) and the storytelling festival (1-3:30pm) featuring local students in the afternoon for the entire family are being presented by the eleven GEF schools with support from the Garner Educational Foundation and the Wake County Public Library—SE Regional Branch.  Detailed information will be available in early 2011.
