We are excited for Len Cabral to visit Braeburn school for a dynamic storytelling experience. Since 1976, Len has been captivating audiences of all ages at schools, libraries, museums, and festivals across the United States and around the world. His exuberant style, humor, and warmth make each performance both engaging and memorable, inspiring students to listen deeply and embrace the power of story. His whole school performances along with smaller grade level workshops (grade 2) will give students the tools to continue their own storytelling in the classroom and beyond. This program will not only enrich our students' literacy and cultural understanding, but also strengthen our school community through the shared joy of storytelling.
