As retired teachers, Natalee and Jim have a deep passion for working with young people. They continue to serve their community by volunteering their services and programs, offering Educational Storytelling and Historical Storytelling across the state. Their dedication to sharing their passion and creativity is unwavering, and they deeply appreciate any donations for gas and expenses to help them continue their mission.

“I couldn’t believe the day I first met Natalee & Jim Ganyon! Their storytelling knocked me off my feet. I especially loved the stories with Spanish. Kids see live puppets. They LOVE them. .

“My para couldn’t stop talking of the class response. So much learning, even math & sequencing.”

Natalee is a storyteller and author of immense talent. She has graced our Children’s Spanish Language Group on occasion. The kids were thrilled to read and listen to Natalee’s retelling of traditional Spanish folk talks. She is a natural with both the written ad spoken word What an honor to have such a talented local author.
