The Wood River Community Centennial Foundation was proud to sponsor Storyteller Joe Hayes program for the Wood River Elementary Students on Feb 6th. Mr. Hayes regaled students in kindergarten through second grade about the “Earth Monster” and “, the Butterfly.” For third, fourth and fifth graders he told the story of a haunted house in the two he grew up. He is a pioneer of bilingual Spanish/English storytelling that he feels helps the Spanish speaking children feel proud of their heritage and help non-Hispanic children to appreciate the Spanish language and Culture. After the presentation he met students as they departed.
Over the past 40 years the Wood River Community Centennial Foundation has approved grants of over $82,500.00 for the Wood River Elementary School
