School Program Results

“It exceeded my expectations. The BOM staff was able to get even the shyest child to participate and join in.”

–Linda Stoller, Gale School
The kids love us!

Barrel of Monkeys is proud of the children we work with and the work they create. Over the course of a BOM residency, each student writes at least six original stories, which is more than the average CPS student writes in an entire year. While it can be difficult to measure the results of our programming, we do our best to get rigorous evaluations so that we can continue to improve our program.
