“During her time at the Boise State Writing Project Summer Institute, Jaymie was instantly hooked by the power of the story exchange,” Narrative 4 recounted in the email. “Since then, she has brought our storytelling program to multiple classrooms, schools, and conferences. Jaymie truly represents N4’s culture through the positive relationships she maintains with her students and colleagues. Thank you Jaymie for all you do, we appreciate you and are grateful for all the work you have put into making space for compassion and empathy in your community.”
