It's almost FESTIVAL SEASON in Appalachia!!!

In this episode Will and (sans) Neil sit down with Pineville Schools. Through the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) Program Samantha North and Shannon Elliott applied for a grant through the Smithsonian Institute to allow a group of students to produce a documentary about the Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival (the oldest festival on record in the Commonwealth of Kentucky). Speaking to nostalgia for the guys, here how Shannon and Samantha guided the students, not only through the process but through the significance of the festival itself. For a lot of people from Pineville the KMLF is more than just a festival, it's a sense of belonging, a sense of place. Take a listen to hear what it now means to Shannon and Samantha and how that carried over to the students. It proved to provide a sense of purpose for the students, one that they could learn to appreciate where they're from. Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week (for Youth Apprenticeship Week): DataSeam; and Cornett Farm Fresh!
