The 5th annual MOTH story day at Boston Latin School, organized by Boston Latin’s Topol Fellows in Peace and Non-Violence, will feature students and faculty presenting 10-15 minute stories in a day-long series of sessions (with the exception of R5) on Thursday, March 31 in the Black Box theater.

MOTH stories originated in 1997, first as local live events, then as a radio program and podcast and now as events all over the world. Over 25,000 Moth stories have been recorded to date. All stories are true, as seen from the perspective of the storyteller, and are delivered mostly extemporaneously for approximately ten minutes each.

Please encourage your teachers to bring you to this event. It’s always moving and memorable!

This is the first time many of the speakers have told their stories in a public setting, so we ask that students be respectful of the speakers and their topics and show their support. We will be announcing a trigger warning at the start of each MOTH session. Teachers: please be sensitive to the maturity level of your students as you make a decision to sign up–or not–for seats.

If you have any questions, please contact Judi Freeman (jfreeman@bostonpublicschools.org), Topol Fellows adviser, in room 307.
