Seward Child Care Center's first “Social Justice Storytime” will kick off with an event focused on West African Dance, Drumming and Storytelling. The event will take place at Powderhorn Park Recreation Center at 3400 15th Ave, on Saturday March 31st from 10:30-11:30AM.

This will be an interactive presentation designed for preschool-aged children to be introduced to the rhythms and movements of the African continent. The event will feature the Cottman family - Auntie Beverly will captivate with stories of tricksters and heroes, Ms. Kenna will lead the children in fun and vigorous movements, and Sister Yonci will keep the beat with traditional instruments. Children and their families will have a chance to try the drums, dance the moves, and sing the songs of our West African ancestors. Auntie Beverly is Beverly Cottman, Sister Yonci is Yonci Jameson, and Ms. Kenna is Kenna-Camara Cottman.

Sponsored by SCCC, Social Justice Storytime presents a diverse range of experiences; exploring local and global issues of equality and justice with pre-school aged children in an interactive and fun environment.
