We look forward to seeing their costumes and to a school filled with characters from our very favorite books!
Story Pirates, November 6th
The Story Pirates are coming to Claxton! The Story Pirates is a self-proclaimed “kid-centric media company and leading arts education advocate” whose actors travel the country to perform at schools. The Story Pirates also put on an acclaimed children’s podcast series where they turn kids’ original stories into “wild sketch comedy musicals”. Thanks to our own local bookseller, Malaprops Bookstore and Cafe, our students will be treated to a live performance by this traveling two-person troupe on Tuesday November 6th at 9 am. What’s even more exciting is that their theatrical performance will be based on the popular Mr. Lemoncello’s Library chapter book series by Chris Grabenstein! Much of the show will be improvised based on suggestions and ideas from kids in the audience and will include a series of interactive games and challenges. Claxton students are invited to purchase paperback copies of the wonderful Mr. Lemoncello’s book series by visiting this link: https://bit.ly/2q17Cpy. Here you can order copies of: Book One: Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Book Two: Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics Book Three: Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race. A representative from Malaprops will be here at school the day of the performance to give out the books our students purchase. On top of helping bring this wonderful troupe to Claxton, Malaprops is graciously donating 20% of the total sales of the books back to the Claxton Elementary School media center! We thank Malaprops for thinking WIN-WIN-WIN: promoting reading, fundraising for our media center and offering an amazing presentation opportunity for our students!
