What is NSBORO Story Bridge?
Led by local authors and parents, Jennifer De Leon and Adam Stumacher, community members from NSBORO will participate in workshops about story development and live presentation in order to refine their own personal tale. The Storytellers will then share their story at a live showcase in March, with the support of their family and friends in the community.
