Noa Baum came to tell her stories of peace and acceptance during our Peace Week activities. Her stories entertained all age groups, matched our theme of peace-making and inspired our students. Noa Baum's stage presence is excellent and her love for storytelling comes through. We look forward to having Noa Baum tell stories to our children again and again in the future.
