Show and Tell

For Families

About the Program

Every object has a story—what’s yours?

In this special family Show & Tell program, families are invited to share the story behind a meaningful or special item. Each family can bring one item and prepare a short presentation (up to 5 minutes) to tell the story of why it matters. It could be funny, heartfelt, surprising, or something entirely your own.

This is a great opportunity to practice storytelling and public speaking in a welcoming, supportive environment.

What’s the best way to tell the story of your item? That’s up to you—just be ready to connect, share, and maybe even inspire others.

For families with children of all ages and their caregiver(s). Please register your family as a group (do not register each individual participant).
