Have The Story Table Foundation visit your school to deliver two interactive story telling experiences and discussions about a book. A session may be for a classroom or an entire grade level. This option is available to elementary schools in Minnesota that are within a five-hour drive of Minneapolis.

Someone at your school reads the book with the classroom and leads a discussion and activity about the book.

**For The Story Table sessions, PeaceMaker Minnesota will write a $500 (per 2 storytelling sessions) check to your school, so that you can pay the $500 (per 2 storytelling sessions) invoice from The Story Table for the storytelling sessions

1.  Please email a photo that can be used in PeaceMaker Minnesota communications (newsletters, website, annual report, appeals, social media, etc.) and possibly in an article that is sent to your school for inclusion in your parent newsletter.  The photo could be of 1 - 3 students with the book, the backs of students in a classroom discussing the book, or of the teacher, a parent or someone else holding one of the books, or an entire classroom of students holding their books.  The photo can be of The Story Table or the RSVP Readers Theater.

2.  If someone from your school is leading the discussion and writing project about a book, send to PeaceMaker Minnesota the student writings / drawings from a classroom about what the students learned or what they will do because of reading and talking about the book. (If The Story Table Foundation leads the book discussion, they will collect and send to PeaceMaker Minnesota student writings.)

3.  For each classroom teacher participating in this project to answer three questions:

a.  How do you think the discussion and the books will help your students? 

b.  Any recommendations for how to improve the Books for Peacemakers project?

c.  Any additional "how to" books for elementary school age youth on developing relational skills that you recommend be a part of this project in the future?

Our intention is to make the books and funding available to partner schools within 45 days of your request. 

Within five days of your request, we will put you in touch with The Story Table or RSVP Readers Theater for you to schedule your session directly with them.
