In the photo to the right, featured speaker Josephine Cripps poses with our 2019 Frances Walton Competition winners (Puget Sound Tour) at Licton Springs K-8 School, where Jo is the arts specialist. The visit was in collaboration with LMC’s Music in Schools (MIS) program and included a full-school assembly and a visit to Carolyn Kyle’s 5th grade class on 9/11/2019. One of our luncheon entertainers, pianist Asta Vaičekonis, is also in the photo.
Our speaker, Josephine Cripps, grew up in the welcoming dark of the great movie palaces and revival houses of Los Angeles. At UCLA, she earned her MFA in Motion Pictures & Television then worked in story development for production companies.
Once she had children, she discovered that working with kids was far more satisfying than working with executives, and she began teaching history, English, and theater in Seattle Schools. Currently she teaches at Licton Springs K-8, the only Native-focused school in Seattle Public Schools.
Every summer Jo returns to the welcoming dark—this time with Screenwriting and Film Studies students at the University of Washington Summer Youth Program.
