‘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.

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.
