ABOUT SKETCHING STORIES

Each session begins with a read-along story led by a visiting librarian from the York County Library, free for the public. Following the story, students will engage in activities that stimulate both their creative minds and developmental abilities. The class concludes with an art project inspired by that month's story, allowing children to explore their artistic talents and bring the tale to life through their own creations.
