Belonging Starts With Me: Storytime, Creativity & Schoolwide Collaboration

Presented by Little MVP LLC

Give your students a joyful, confidence-boosting literacy experience with children’s author Gina Casazza, inspired by her book You Really, Truly Do Belong. Through storytime, music, and hands-on creativity, students learn that belonging begins within—and that kindness, teamwork, and courage help build a stronger school community. Program Highlights: • Interactive Author Reading: Gina brings the rhyming book to life, guiding students through themes of belonging, self-worth, and friendship. • Schoolwide Literacy Activity: Students work together to write an original story, learning character development, story structure, and teamwork. • Movement & Music: A fun sing-along of the book’s theme song gets students energized, moving, and celebrating their own unique strengths. • Reflection & Sharing: Classes share ideas and stories, reinforcing positive self-talk and community connection. Customized for your school's needs.
