Storytelling program planned Sunday at I-House
Joyce Ormond will present “Stories From Around the World” from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday at International House, Davis, 10 College Park.
Ormond has been telling stories all her life. Growing up as an only child on a small farm in West Sacramento, she amused herself by making up and sharing stories. When she started teaching elementary school in Clarksburg, she soon learned that stories were a powerful (and fun) learning tool, and she went on telling to children for the next 40 years.
When Ormond retired, she discovered the Sacramento Storytellers Guild and decided to give adult storytelling a try. She has since developed an engaging style, and especially loves to tell adult stories about her childhood experiences and Sacramento history. She now tells to all ages at Guild meetings, festivals, schools and libraries, senior centers and community celebrations.
The I-House Storytelling Program is designed for elementary schoolchildren ages 4-9, but is enjoyed by children of all ages. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Admission is free for I-House members. Nonmembers are asked to pay $5 per family or $2 per person. For more information, visit www.internationalhousedavis.org/childrens-international-storytelling-program.
