Voyager Middle School Students Bring Empathy to Life Through Puppetry

Voyager Middle School Students Bring Empathy to Life Through PuppetryVoyager Middle School students used puppets and storytelling to help more than 500 elementary students learn about friendship, emotions, and resolving conflict.

With support from teacher Annamarie Jordan and community partner foundry10, students created “The Harmony Keepers.” They developed the story, designed and built puppets, and performed for younger students, who joined in through movement, questions, and breathing exercises.

Students also helped create a classroom guide, so the learning could continue after the performance.
The project gave Voyager students a chance to build creative confidence, practice teamwork, and see how their ideas can make a difference for others.
