Story Pirates Documentary

This documentary captures the essence of what the Story Pirates do in schools every year. We start by teaching writing workshops to elementary schoolers, next we take those students' stories and turn them into songs and sketches, then we return to the school and perform the stories for all the kids to see. The result is an experience that will remain with every young author for the rest of his or her life.
If you'd like to learn more about bringing the Story Pirates to your school or finding out how you can help the Story Pirates continue bringing their award-winning programs to schools like the one in this movie, please visit http://www.storypirates.org

This is so awesome. I wish I were a kid and could hang out with the story pirates. Maybe after I graduate college if I don't find a job I'll apply to work with you guys =)

I will build a time machine for you so you can go to Buffalo NY (circa 1976) when I was in grade school. Very awesome. I'm jealous.

You guys are so awesome and you're doing such an incredible thing - keep it up! I live in England so unfortunately my experiences of you will have to remain in video form, but I would apply to join the story pirates in a heart-beat! Maybe Aquarius would give me a ride to the US in her hairy, scaly back...
