Recently, Sierra Foothill Charter School had special assemblies featuring storyteller MaryGay Ducey. Ms. Ducey has appeared at many storytelling festivals internationally and throughout the U.S. Back in the day, she was featured on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. She recently retired as a children's librarian at the Oakland Public Library. As a storyteller, she draws from her life experiences to delight audiences with humorous and insightful tales that mix personal and historical, literary and folk.
Ducey masterfully engaged both the youngest and oldest students at SFCS. The school was also thrilled to have Catheys Valley Preschool join its students for the first assembly as well.

MaryGay Ducey calls younger students "her people." She understands how hard it is for them to stay still and be quiet. She gave them lots of opportunities to participate. They loved it!
