Storytelling in the Schools

This year professional storytellers will visit local and area schools to entertain and educate the students with the art of storytelling. Maintaining this oral tradition so important to our culture. 

We began with only our local school district, from kindergarten through high school. As the years have progressed, we have been able to reach out to students in the area. We now have storytellers in seven different area school districts: George West, Three Rivers, McMullen County, Orange Grove, Mathis, Beeville, and Pawnee. The students are always fascinated with the storytellers, and the teachers and entire school district personnel seem most appreciative of this service that we provide at no charge to them.

Through the generosity of sponsors and granting entities such as Coastal Bend Community Foundation and Campana Foundation, Storyfest provides local and area school children, who might not be able to attend the event, an opportunity to enjoy our rich heritage of storytelling.

This year storytellers were sent into these schools:

This has always been part of the mission of the George West Storyfest Association, Inc. and one we are proud to have grown from our original four George West ISD campuses to the many area schools we now serve. We plan to continue to increase our outreach to schools as funding becomes available.
