Elders' Wisdom, Children’s Song6:30 p.m. Thursday, November 12th 2024 at the Spearfish High School Auditorium.
Please join us for the annual Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song event! This program incorporates the tools of community organization, education, and celebration to help us honor the richness of our community through storytelling in song and spoken word. Children listen to the stories of Spearfish community elders and develop songs and narrations from the words of the elders with the help of their teachers and songwriters from our region.
This year, fifth-grade classes at Creekside Elementary have partnered with local songwriters to honor the following elders:
-Micheline Nelson
-Billy Evans
-Beth Bentley
-Jeff Kaitfors
The Spearfish Foundation for Public Education is proud to have supported this program for many years. Through owning each other’s story, bridges are built, understanding is found, respect is developed and reconciliation occurs. Barriers of age, complexion, religion, gender, and class are diminished.
The Spearfish Foundation for Public Education is proud to sponsor this event.
Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song was developed by Larry Long, a songwriter and community activist who works with children to help break down the barriers that exist in communities. The songs and narrations from all of the Spearfish Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song celebrations are available at http://elderswisdomchildrenssongsouthdakota.com,
with the newest honorees to be added. See less
