Jack Tales
On January 9, students were treated to a theatrical presentation of Jack Tales. Jack Tales are a specific type of folklore, rooted in British fairy tales but adapted into the Appalachian region of the United States, featuring a clever, sometimes lucky trickster-hero named Jack. These stories were passed down through oral tradition, focusing on Jack's adventures, often highlighting his wit in outsmarting giants and authority figures. The program was infused with music from Appalachian culture, and some students had the opportunity to play a part in the stories.
