Pop-Up Stories Storyteller Learns Kindness From Students

Amanda Pickney

A scientist who traded his lab coat for a high school classroom was shocked to discover the negative stereotypes he’d heard about young people couldn’t be further from the truth.

Dr. Clinton Bartholomew shared his story at our last Pop-Up Stories public storytelling event.

It was held at the Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson in August on the theme “Random Acts of Kindness.”

Our Next Pop-Up Stories Event will be held October 25th at the Herbert Herman Cancer Center in Lansing at 6:30 p.m. The theme is “Touched by Cancer.” If you have a story you’d like to share, email Laura Michels
