Program Overview
Ronda’s energetic blends of storytelling, music, audience participation, puppets, and character-building lessons are on display during her character-building assemblies, writing workshops, and family involvement nights. Her evening programs highlight the students as they perform two songs and act out one of her picture books, becoming pigs, skunks, and stinkbugs.
