THE BURR PTO PRESENTS

Creative Arts & Sciences brings high-quality, highly relevant, and carefully planned programming to Burr's students. CAS is fully funded by the Burr School PTO and administered by hard-working parent and family volunteers!

Cabral, an African American storyteller, has been enchanting Newton student audiences for years. He presents African, and world and original folk tales with a spellbinding style that includes audience participation, movement, and dramatic flair. He has authored two books, Anansi’s Narrow Waist and

Len Cabral’s Storytelling Book.

A reminder that all Burr parents and caretakers are welcome to attend the presentations (not just 4th and 5th grade parents!), but no younger siblings please.

Recent CAS Presentations

 

On Tuesday, April 26th, 2nd graders learned about the culture of Ghana. Joe Galeota, an associate professor at Berklee College of Music, lived in Ghana for many years, and his wife, Vida, grew up there. Together they have created a rich program that brings students to Vida’s village for a day. The day includes the family’s morning chores, the marketplace, school, and the family’s evening activities. Throughout the program, Joe and Vida presented artifacts, music, games, and proverbs.
