Stories in Elementary

Thursday night, Healing Through Hope had the honor of sharing stories with students at Birchwood Elementary School, and Friday we continued that journey with young listeners at Alderwood Elementary School in the Bellingham School District.

For generations, storytelling has been one of the ways our families and communities pass down wisdom, values, laughter, and healing. Through stories, children see themselves, learn about the world around them, and feel the power of connection.

We are grateful to the teachers and staff who welcomed us into their classrooms and to the students who listened with such open hearts and curious minds. Moments like these remind us how powerful stories can be in building understanding and belonging.

And the storytelling continues!

Next Wednesday we’ll be visiting Happy Valley Elementary School to share more stories and time together with students.

Thank you to the Bellingham School District for creating space for storytelling in the classroom and helping keep these traditions alive.
