The school helps students develop good speech habits, feel confident in oral presentations, create an outlet of self-expression and assists in establishing strong, positive images.
Through programs, stu-
dents are able to participate in poetry, music, dance and
radio/TV broadcasting. The students recently performed in a recital. Students, ages 6-16, will apply the skills learned in their respective classes, using Biblical principles.
The Master Storyteller’s
Christian Drama School per- formers are:
Rebecca Jacobson, Mykeala
Moore, Kamryn Calloway, Kyle Calloway, Tamia Calloway, Joshua Sherrell, Cliff Andre, Paige Hall, Raven Smith, Ma- laysia Hagg, Kayla Dixon and

es invites the public to attend its annual dinner fundraiser at the Laurel Banquet Center in Livonia on Friday, Sept. 10, at 6 p.m. The dinner will feature Linda E. Swanson, vice presi- dent, Swanson Funeral Home, as mistress of ceremonies. Two academic scholarship
