Tree Sprouts

Lindy, from Tree Sprouts, provided a storytelling experience at FSP during assembly... if your children would like to see her again, check out these offerings... Tree Sprouts!!! outreach programming for Greater Portland I’m so excited this year to be able to create connections with the Greater Portland community through our outreach programs. From October through December I will be visiting schools, libraries, hospitals, resource centers, and other public venues to present Tree Sprouts, a unique interactive learning program for children. Tree Sprouts combines dramatic storytelling, songs, and movement with recycled art projects and a sprinkle of playful yoga! The main goal of this program is to help children and families increase their awareness and understanding of people, cultures, and nature. In learning about others we naturally learn about ourselves and who we are in relation to the world around us. Believing in ourselves empowers us to embrace both our differences and our similarities allowing us to become connected with all living things. It also helps us to think and act with compassion. The more people are motivated by kindness and compassion, the more hope we have of a peaceful world for our future. By offering all of the Tree Sprouts groups at no charge it is my hope that we can reach out to kids who may not otherwise have these opportunities.
