With the start of the 2015 school year, Ralph Singh has been busy. Sandy Creek invited him to spend a day for staff professional development. With the excellent groundwork of Jackie Hobbs and Dori Hathway, a team of 12 teachers who wanted to review ways to extend the school-wide activities into their class work.

Following Ralph’s overview, Autumn Sutton was able to share her hands-on experiences integrating the stories into CCS and her normal classroom routine with the elementary team, while Ralph met with the middle school group to explore applying both the stories and Change the Story game to project-based and service learning projects. LeMoyne College’s Dr. Cathy Leogrande, who continues to document the power and progress of the stories, was able to join the session.
