In Jack Straw’s Family Celebrations projects, our team of writers, vocal coaches, and audio engineers work with students to help them write and record narratives focused on important traditions and celebrations in their lives. These audio stories highlight the diverse identities within each school’s community and help students learn more about themselves and each other.
