“Why the Sky is Far Away”
Based on a Nigerian Folktale

Brought to you by the Kindergarten – 5th grade students of Agassiz Baldwin Afterschool.

When: Tuesday, March 16th [5:30-6:00pm]
Where: Baldwin School Gym, 28 Sacramento Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
What: In the beginning, the sky was so close to the earth that anyone who was hungry could just reach up, take a piece, and eat it. The sky was delicious, tasting sometimes of meat stew, sometimes of roasted corn. But the people grew careless with the sky’s gifts, taking more than they needed to satisfy their hunger. The sky grew angry, threatening to withhold its gifts if the people continued to waste them. Join us tomorrow to learn how the story ends . . .
