Arts in Education Program Application Narrative
School Profile
In August 2013, Northside Elementary School (NES) opened as a state-of-the-art facility in
the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) district in Orange County. This school was
intentionally built in the historic Northside neighborhood in downtown Chapel Hill,which is in the
middle of the school district. Northside Elementary is a place where every student can think, learn
and grow with purpose, persistence and pride.
School's Arts Programs
Northside Elementary School currently has a full time art teacher, a full time music teacher,
and a full time physical education teacher,just as all other public elementary schools in Orange
County do.The goal of North Carolina Arts in Action (NC AIA) is to help children reach their full
potential using performing arts as the catalyst to build focus, discipline, self-esteem,teamwork
and leadership. AIA fosters an appreciation of dance and the arts, increased physical activity,
increased self-confidence and a commitment to the excellence within themselves. While existing
CHCCS curricula incorporate minimal aspects of these, none have the intensity that Arts in Action
has. And, none have a final performance where the students are invested and energized to show
off all they have learned in the prior six months.The primary role of male AIA artistic directors,
musicians, and teaching assistants is particularly engaging for our male students--the proportion
of male students at NES (55%) is slightly higher than the district average of male students (53%)1.
In the couple weeks the program has existed at NES,teachers are already saying their students can
focus better in classroom learning following AIA classes.
The teaching methodology and curriculum of AIA are unique in their approach to engaging
children in the love of dance. The high energy, rigorous demands and dynamic exercise develop a
child's self-discipline, set a standard of excellence and facilitate the development of self-
confidence through active movement, intellectual stimulation, and artistic expression. Many
students who struggle in a traditional classroom setting gain confidence and increased ability to
focus in the atmosphere of high expectations and mutual support created by AIA's highly trained
instructors. Arts in Action residencies involve the entire school community, supported by
classroom and specialist teachers through collaboration, curriculum tie-ins and enhancement of
AIA activities with additional music and art projects that enhance the year-end performances. A
school liaison works with the school administration to coordinate AIA activities internally.
Involvement of school administration is critical for sustainability of the program. Community
businesses and parents are actively recruited to offer logistical and financial support for the
program.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds
Description: The grant funds will be used to provide support for the Arts in Action program at
Northside Elementary School in the cafeteria and gym during the school day. AIA will occur during
the 2013-2014 school year. Each fourth grade class (around 30 students in each) has a designated
time each week for their AIA class. Each student will receive approximately 18 AIA classes over the
course of the school year.The final performance is scheduled for March 20, 2014. Most sessions
1 Email conversation with C. Mau at Lincoln Center(CHCCS)on 11/12/13.
NES Arts in Education Fall 2013 OCAC Grant 1
involve and will continue to involve the Artistic Director and the Music Director from NC AIA. AIA
also provides a Master Teacher,teaching assistants, and other musicians who participate
occasionally over the course of the residency, but definitely in rehearsals and the final
performances. Arts in Action classes take place during the school day and do NOT replace any
academic classes, putting the arts on equal footing with other academic subjects. Arts in Action
inherently embraces diversity at the very heart of its program philosophy.The arts are a great
leveler for children and no matter what their background, physicality or ethnicity, each child finds
success through their commitment to the challenge of AIA activities.Additionally,the annual
program themes are rooted in the study of an individual culture and represent the celebration of
diversity and global awareness. Programs are delivered at no cost to an individual child, and are
completely inclusive for each class at grade four.
Past similar activities:Within Orange County,two public schools have participated for several
years with NC AIA. Rashkis Elementary School was the first school in Orange County to contract
with NC AIA. Since 2006,through all their programs, NC AIA has provided this program to over 900
students from Rashkis and since 2008,to over 540 students from FPG. Rashkis still provides the
program to all their fourth graders. Frank Porter Graham Elementary School participated with NC
AIA from 2007-2013.They have decided not to continue the program at their school this year and
this was seen as an opportunity to bring this program to NES. Samples of past videos (also linked
on a DVD)can be seen at the following youtube sites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHLhs5rvlj8;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLjkVebKGLU.
Current activities:The AIA program began in late October for all fourth graders at NES. Each
student will have each received three hour-long classes for Arts in Action as of November 12,
2013.The Arts in Action program encompasses music and (constant) exercise through dancing and
movement and is occurring either in the cafeteria before lunch services or in the gym for the
afternoon classes. (A letter of continued support is included from the NES administration.)
Audience, participants:According to the CHCCS Opening of Schools Report
(http://www.chccs.kl2.nc.us/group_profile_view.aspx?id=Ob58b7ff-lc7c-425c-9f24-967fcc751621)from
September 23, 2013,just over 500 students were enrolled and approximately 50% rode the school
buses in the mornings and afternoons,87 on whom are listed in the walkzone. There are 87
students enrolled in fourth grade at Northside Elementary School this year. The AIA program
culminates in final performances in the spring during an in-school assembly performance and an
evening performance for families.Arts in Action has predominantly worked with fourth grade
students at participating schools. With most performances, some younger siblings of fourth
graders are incorporated into the final performances. If funding allows, we will look into the
prospect of having sample classes for younger students at school. Some students who were
redistricted from FPG and Rashkis may have been exposed to the program in prior years because
of final performances at schoolwide student assemblies. Other students witness the program both
because it occurs during school hours and also because AIA attends some school functions and
involves any individuals present who want to participate.
Geography of participants:According to the Opening of Schools Report 2013, of the 502 students
enrolled, almost 11%are Hispanic, 5%are multiracial, almost 16%are Asian, 22.5%are African-
American, and a little over 45%are White. Interestingly,the same proportions of staff at NES are
African American and Hispanic(unlike any other regular elementary school in the district). As all
the direct participants will be fourth graders (aged 9-11), seven fourth graders were reported as
Hispanic for ethnicity, and with respect to race, four were reported as multiracial, 14 as Asian, 18
NES Arts in Education Fall 2013 OCAC Grant 2
Y
as African American, and 42 were reported as White. Of particular note, Northside Elementary
School has the highest free and reduced price lunch status (measure of socioeconomic status)in
the district at 35.4%. The CHCCS reported that the school has 55%boys and 45%girls. There were
no data available on limited English proficiency(LEP) percentages, but the district indicated that
about 10%would be LEP in their redistricting plan earlier in the year.
This is a great opportunity to bring together every fourth grade student who has come
from a different school to NES. Redistricting plans had students from six different elementary
schools attending NES. The majority came from FPG (43.5%--most non-Dual Language students
moved to NES—15 of the 18 planning segments) and Seawell Elementary School (30.9%,three
planning segments). Other schools with students redistricted to Northside included Carrboro
Elementary School (8.1%,three planning segments),Glenwood Elementary School (7.2%,three
planning segments), Rashkis Elementary School (6.3%,two planning segments), and Estes Hills
Elementary School (4.1%,three planning segments). The geography of where students live in
relation to the school ranges from the very extremes of the district with some fourth graders
attending from the Heritage Hills neighborhood almost in Chatham County to other students
attending who live near Eubanks Road in Larkspur and Parkside neighborhoods.
How is the Program Integrated into the Curriculum? Each year, a theme is selected through
consultation between the NC AIA artistic staff and fourth grade teachers at participating schools.
Initial themes included the diversity of African cultures and the history and traditions of Mexico
(Viva Mexico). In 2009-10, Think Big!encouraged children to use their imagination and curiosity to
explore the scientific world, gaining inspiration from the tenacity of great thinkers of the past. In
2010-11, NC AIA met the request of the partner schools to develop a theme based on North
Carolina History and Culture. From pirates to basketball,from the Lost Colony to clogging,this
theme fit specifically into the fourth grade social studies curriculum standards. In 2011-12, NC AIA
designed a curriculum emphasizing protecting and preserving the environment (The Green City),
consistent with the science curriculum in fourth grade. In 2012-13,the theme was Healthy Bodies,
Healthy Minds. In 2013-14, NC AIA will be revisiting the theme of North Carolina in their final
performance.
Cost of the program
Arts in Action is a program that is NOT funded by the school district,the individual school
hosting the program,or by the local Parent Teacher Association. Arts in Action is funded by
donations, grants, and other fundraising activities at each school.The cost for this program ranges
from $15,000 to $25,000, depending on number of classrooms served and the number of classes
delivered. At NES,AIA classes have begun and occur almost every Thursday through March 2014.
Through an agreement with past AIA parents and staff at FPG,we transferred the
remaining earmarked money for AIA from FPG to NES in the late fall ($2403). We have begun
fundraising efforts directly through parents of fourth graders at NES.As the program is new and
just beginning, not much money has been raised yet. Arts in Action will host a school dance/silent
auction in early February as the main fundraiser for this program. In the past,the silent auction
raised between $5000 and $7000 at FPG. The NC AIA has agreed to delay the payment schedule
for this year. They have yet to receive an initial payment.The Arts in Education grant will help us
pay for this program at NES this year.

Organizational Budgets
Total Organizational Budget 2012-13 $18,000(AIA at FPG)
2013-14 $15,000($2,000 from NES PTA)
2014-15 $18,000($2,000 from NES PTA)
As this program is new at Northside Elementary School,there was no organizational
budget for the 2012-13 school year. The budget proposed for 2013-14 is based on
one from Frank Porter Graham Elementary School last year(with a reduction
because there are only three fourth grade classes instead of four). We project there
to be four fourth grade classes at NES next year (2014-15) so that budget is similar
to the 2012-13 budget.

Greetings Mrs. Gwynne,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the opportunity to
witness Frank Porter Graham's final Arts In Action performance this past spring.
The leadership demonstrated as the stud entsperformed and transitioned served as
a reminder of why students need opportunities to participate in the arts. It has been
my experience that students are able to find/strengthen their voice and begin
connecting to their future through programs such as Arts in Action.
At Northside we are committed to ensuring that students continue to enhance their
growth potential. I believe Arts In Action (AIA) will provide an additional resource to
support student leadership development, creativity and collaboration skills. I also
believe AIA will provide a platform for students to practice prioritizing and setting
goals. As a school, the Fourth Grade Teachers, Technology Facilitator, School
Library Media Coordinator , Music Teacher and our Physical Education Teacher
will work with the Administration to: (1) coordinate scheduling which
maximizes students` academic learning; (2) ensure available rehearsal space; and
(3) support the basic AIA pedagogy.
After only two sessions, the students, staff and families are all buzzing about the
excitement. Having had the pleasure of dancing with each group, I was able to see
the enthusiasm and pride exhibited by each class. This program has already
exemplified how it unites and encourages students to excel. I have no doubt it will
continue to be an asset to the growth and development of our entire school
community.
Again, thanks for supporting our Fourth Graders as they experience the Arts In
Action program.

Dear PTA President:
We are pleased to inform you that your PTA is included in the PTA North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teachers,
Inc. group income tax exemption.North Carolina PTA's Group Exemption Number(GEN) is 8535. Contributions to your
organization may be treated as charitable contributions when donors calculate their federal income taxes. In addition;your
organization is exempt from federal income taxes on its receipts.
The Internal Revenue Service states that organizations exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3)of the Internal
Revenue code need not complete Form 990 if annual gross receipts are not non-nail in excess of$50,000*. `'Gross
receipts"is defined as"the total income received from all sources during the annual accounting period,without
subtracting any costs or expenses". An organization with gross receipts that are normally $50,000 or less may file Form
990-N, (e-Postcard) instead of filing Forin 990 or Form 990-EZ.
Gross receipts are considered to be$50,000 or less if the organization is:
(a) Up to a year old and has received $75,000 or less during its first year either in donations or pledges;
(b) Between I and 3 years old and averaged $60,000 or less in gross receipts during each of its first 2 tax years; or
(c) 3 years old or more and averaged $50,000 or less in gross receipts for the immediately preceding 3 tax years
(including the year for which the return would be filed).
If you are not required to file Form 990, but receive the IRS form,you must check the box showing"income less than
$50,000", sign and date the form,and return it to the IRS. If you are required to file Form 990,you must complete and
attach Schedules A and B. Schedules A and B (Form 990) are integral parts of Form 990 for Section 501(c)(3)
organizations required to file this form. Therefore,any organization that does not submit completed Schedules A and B
with its Form 990 does not satisfy its filing requirements. Form 990 or the 990-N e-postcard must be filed by the 15th
day of the fifth month after the end of your annual accounting period. If the return is filed late,a penalty of$20 a day
may be charged. The penalty is not to exceed the lesser of$10,000 or 5 percent of the organization's gross receipts for the
year. Also,a penalty may be charged if the return is filed incorrectly or incompletely.
Local units failing to pay membership dues annually are deleted from our roster and are not eligible for inclusion in the
group income tax exemption. The Internal Revenue Service is notified when a PTA dissolves its affiliation with State and
National PTA.
As with all otticlal documentation,please Iile this letter with yow r'T A's pernianent records in a saic. location.
Sincerely_.
Jayne Tipton
President
*As of 2010 tax year,for returns filed in 2011. For the 2009 tax year and earlier,the annual gross income had to be not
more than $25000_
