<h1>Stories, Songs, and Stretches! from Library Juice Academy <o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Spots are filling up fast for my January - April Stories, Songs, and Stretches! online certification with Library Juice Academy. This training consists of 3, four-week modules, with two-week breaks between each module. The content is released
weekly for students to complete at their own pace. A combination of recorded lectures, video demonstrations, discussions, readings, group work, personal practice, and occasional in-person meetings are used to help trainees build all the skills they need to
intentionally and effectively use yoga-inspired movement and mindfulness to enhance school readiness in their storytime programs. I only offer two online series per year. It’s looking like this one will fill up, so if you are wanting to join us, register today!

<p class="MsoNormal">We will discuss how Clinton-Macomb Public Library went from little school outreach to developing a streamlined plan that allows us to see over 20,000 students a year. Specifically, we will focus on how developing curriculum-based, grade
specific programs helped us to appeal to teachers and administrators while still attracting students to participate. These strategies can be adapted to serve communities of any size. Additionally, we will talk about the differences between curriculum-based
school outreach and relationship-based school outreach as well as how to meet the need of schools from varying socioeconomic backgrounds.<o:p></o:p></p>
