This year Thornton Creek Specialists are excited to be focusing on story. We are diving into story in Library, PE, and Visual Art as a way to build connections. Students will explore story as self-expression and self-understanding.

We will use story to share about our families and our communities. We will explore stories from our beautiful Northwest and from all around our vibrant planet. We are hoping that story will work its magic, widening our understanding and fortifying our resilience and empathy.

Story will help us celebrate, connect, and grow stronger together.
