5 Arts Program Application Narrative
School Profile
McDougle Elementary is one of the largest K-5 schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School
District, with 528 students. Its population is ethnically and academically diverse, with students
X_on a il ide rar i
ge of socio-economic backgrounds. The demographic breakdown for the 2012-
2013 school year is as follows for grades Kindergarten through 5th Grade:
Gender Race/National Origin
Female:255 African-American:83 Hispanic:120 White:331
Male:273 Asian:42 1 American Indian:I
Starting in the 2012-2013 school year, McDougle Elementary School will participate in the Title I
Schoolwide program, meaning that the school's poverty level is at least 40 percent. With the
support of Title I funding, the school will implement a comprehensive program to address the
unique needs of this population. In addition, we have approximately 65 students classified as
English Language Learners (ELL); this number fluctuates during the school year, as this is our
most transient population. McDougle Elementary has four self-contained classrooms in its
Exceptional Children program: two for autism and two Life Skills class, which is for students with
severe and profound learning challenges. Although these classrooms are categorized as self-
contained, inclusion opportunities with same-age peers are provided on a regular basis,
including the MES PTA cultural enrichment programs.
Given the demographic and socio-economic composition of our school, a large percentage of
our students benefit greatly from experiencing a diverse cultural arts program as they may
otherwise have very few opportunities to do so outside the school context. The struggling
economy, declining resources allocated to the arts, and limited fundraising opportunities make it
necessary for the McDougle Elementary PTA to seek outside funding to support our Cultural
Arts Program.
McDougle Elementary has demonstrated its strong commitment to the arts since it opened in
1996. The Common Core and NC Standard Course of Study determine the school's Arts
curriculum. To enhance and complement the curriculum, the PTA presents at least four different
performances each year, as well as artist residencies. Each performance is carefully selected to
respond to the needs of our students. The criteria for selection include strong multidisciplinary
linkages to the school's curriculum, particularly in arts education, language arts, science, math,
social studies, and positive behavior; and being representative of a variety of cultures and art
forms, such as dance, music, drama, storytelling and poetry, among others. Our goal is to
expose students to a wide range of artistic expression throughout their elementary school years.
The two performances for which we are seeking funding present a unique learning opportunity
for our students during the 2012-2013 school year.
School's Arts Programs
In 2012-2013. the PTA Cultural Arts Program includes the following shows:
• Flamenco Carolina (October 2012; supported by the Spring 2012 OCAC grant)
• Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets (November 2012; supported by the Spring 2012 OCAC
grant)
• Tired Souls, presented by Mike Wiley (January 2013; provisional support by the Fall 2012
OCAC grant)
• Ballet Folklonco, Mexico (April 2013; provisional support by the Fall 2012 OCAC grant)
The PTA will also fund a poetry residency (5th grade), a pottery residency (4th grade) and a
Music Residency for all students. The PTA will continue building partnerships with the
community at large by inviting local organizations to showcase students' work at the end of

Proposed Uses of Grant Funds.
We are seeking matching funds to pay artists' fees for the following two performances, which
will be held on school premises in January and April 2013.
Tired Souls: King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, presented by Mike Wiley
Audience: 3, 4, 5 (--260 students representing MES diversity)
Show length: 50 minutes
Show date: January 2013
Study Areas: Social Studies, Theatre Arts, English Language Arts
Mike Wiley is an incredible performer, who is based locally but travels widely for his
performances. His one-man shows are riveting explorations into history that captivate
audiences. His frequent use of audience participation throughout his shows ensures that the
students are engaged and provide them opportunities to be a part of the experience.
Tired Souls opens in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955 -the day Rosa Parks
refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man. Her determination was the catalyst that
inspired Montgomery's black citizens to abandon all travel on city buses until they were no
longer forced to sit in the back or stand when a white person boarded. But there were others
who came before Mrs. Parks and laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. Tired Souls
introduces audiences to Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin and others so instrumental in
lighting a fire under the Civil Rights movement and changing the course of U.S. history forever.

Integrating Cultural Arts into the Curriculum
The PTA Cultural Arts program works in concert with the school's art education curriculum, as
well as with the teachers who incorporate the performances into the grade-level curriculum
specified in the NC Standard Course of Study Arts Education component. Both Mike Wiley and
Ballet Folklorico Mexico provide instructional materials to correspond with their performances.
Each teacher is responsible for integrating these materials and the performances with the
curriculum in each classroom. These linkages would most often take place on a grade-wide
scale, with teachers of the same grade using the same lesson, which would be reinforced during
relevant `specials' classes (e.g., art, music, library).

7 Resumes of Key Artists and Administrators Involved in Grant Funded
Programs
Mike Wiley
Acclaimed actor and playwright Mike Wiley has spent the last decade fulfilling his mission to
bring educational theatre to young audiences and communities across the country. In the early
days of his career, Wiley found few theatrical resources to shine a light on key events and
figures in African-American history. To bring these stories to life, he started his own production
company.
Through his performances, Wiley has introduced countless students and communities to the
legacies of Emmett Till, Henry"Box" Brown and more. His most recent works include a one-man
play based on Tim Tyson's memoir Blood Done Sign My Name and The Parchman Hour, an
ensemble production celebrating the bravery and determination of the Freedom Riders who
risked their lives to desegregate Southern interstate bus travel in 1961.
Mike Wiley has a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is
the 2010 Lehman Brady Visiting Joint Chair Professor in Documentary Studies and American
Studies at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In addition to his
numerous school and community performances, he has also appeared on Discovery Channel,
The Learning Channel and National Geographic Channel and has been featured in Our State
magazine and on PBS' North Carolina Now and WUNC's The State of Things.
Ballet Folklorico Mexico
Ballet Folklorico has been delighting audiences throughout North America for more than 30
years. Decked out in lavish, flamboyant costumes -some that feature spectacular headdresses
that reach a jaw-dropping six feet in length, Ballet Folklorico takes its audiences on a ride of
regional dances from Mexico.
The company, which can vary in size from three to 25 performers, introduces audiences to
fascinating folklore and magnificent ceremonial rituals from regions of Veracruz to Tamaulipas,
including traditions of the Aztecs, Michoacan and may others. And they won't forget to perform
the famous "Mexican Hat Dance." Ballet Folklorico's entertaining and educational program has
charmed audiences at schools, festivals, theaters, parades and a host of other venues.
