Story Starters

Story Starters

This program seeks to thoughtfully provide resources (books) and strategies to families to engage in conversations about race at home to support our collective work as a school community.

Story Starters will offer its 8-week Family Conversations program to families at Ward and Mason-Rice. Families will receive books on topics of racial identity and parent discussion guides. The program includes on-site family events and online parent workshops. We will have participating families join together for this program. Each school will host one in-person family event for all participating families, and adults from both school communities will have online learning opportunities.
