‘New and Nostalgic’ Back-to-school story slam

Whether you’re a student, parent or educator, the start of a new school year is filled with fresh starts and memories. Maybe it’s the first day at a new school. Or being on the other side of things as the parent who is waving good-bye. Or maybe it was the start of a school year that made a big impact on you - but you didn’t know it then.

Join us for “New and Nostalgic: A back-to-school community story slam” from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, August 21 at the Pitch Bleachers inside the AMP at 16 Tech, 1220 Waterway Blvd. This event is a twist on previous educator story slams - it is open to the community so students, parents, educators and community members can all come together to tell their stories about the shared experience of back-to-school. We’ll share, connect and learn from each other too as we embark on another new school year.

If you are interested in participating or want to learn more about sharing your story, please fill out this form.

The story slam is co-hosted by Chalkbeat Indiana, Indy Kids Winning and Mirror Indy. This event is sponsored by ClusterTruck. Doors open at 6 p.m. Food and drink will be provided.
