This campaign seeks donations to fund the Paramount Story Wranglers creative writing program at St. Elmo Elementary School for the spring semester. The Paramount Academy for the Arts’ Literacy to Life program is in the business of bringing stories to life. Aptly-named group, The Paramount Story Wranglers, supports students of all ages and backgrounds create inventive and hilarious stories with stimulating experiences in the arts. This school-based literacy program for third graders uses the theatre to transform students’ understanding and approach to writing. The professional teaching artists, the Paramount Story Wranglers, use creative writing, improvisation, and role-playing activities to improve students’ writing skills, all while developing their confidence, creativity, and storytelling abilities.  For seven weeks, students write individual and group stories using the Literacy to Life curriculum. Then, the Paramount Story Wranglers collect student stories, adapting them into a full-length sketch production that they perform for the entire school.

Let’s make this happen for more students.
