Judi Tarowsky – February Friday

Student portrait at Olney Friends School

Nothing beats a creative storyteller to immerse you into their world, and last week for February Friday we were lucky to experience that here at Olney! Storyteller Judi Tarowsky was a newspaper reporter and editor for more than 25 years and told other peoples stories. Now, as a storyteller she gets to tell her own.   In the morning she told us a story that she wrote called “When Sisters Were Soldiers.” The story was about a group of nuns who ran an orphanage, and hospital in Wheeling, WV during the civil war.   In the afternoon she held a workshop about “The art of Longform Historical Narrative: Researching, Building, and Telling Historical Stories.” She spoke to us about using archives, personal stories, and on site research to make a great story for telling.   Thank-you again Judi Tarowsky for visiting us at Olney Friends School, and sharing your talent with the students here. You can find out more about Judi Tarowsky on her website – https://www.tellerjuditarowsky.com/
