Current Grants from OCAC: Programs and Services There are no current grants from OCAC underway through the Public School Foundation.During each of the Grant Writing Workshops we host we inform teachers and parents of the arts grants available from the Orange County Arts Commission and encourage their applications. During the 2012-2013 academic year,Phoenix Academy High School Arts Program was awarded a Student Enrichment Grant by the Orange County Arts Commission(through the Public School Foundation)for their Spoken Word Project. During workshops hosted by an artist in residence from the Sacrificial Poets, students were active participants and were able to develop the skills to participate in poetry events at the Chapel Hill Teen Center,Flyleaf Books,the Carrboro Arts Center and UNC. The Phoenix Academy High School Arts Program enabled students to have a chance to tell their stories and cultivated a sense of community in the classroom that extended beyond the high school building. Because the student population is so small at Phoenix,they receive no district funding for the cultural arts, so this grant was hugely important in exposing the students to poetry and community resources. During the 2012-2013 academic year,the Orange County Arts Commission(through the Public School Foundation)also funded a music program at Carrboro Elementary School in which six 3/4 size guitars,six guitar cases and three tuners were purchased for guitar lessons to be taught to 6-8 children over a series of eight week sessions after school. The afterschool guitar program,taught by a volunteer teacher, allowed students who were interested in music,but in many cases would otherwise not have access to music outside of music class at school,the opportunity to have private music lessons. Proposed Uses of Grant Funds • Location/Dates/Artists--Ten of the eleven elementary schools in the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools District have Preschool Intervention Programs. These schools are: Carrboro Elementary, Ephesus Elementary,Estes Hills Elementary,Frank Porter Graham Bilingue, Glenwood Elementary,McDougle Elementary,Northside Elementary,Rashkis Elementary, Scroggs Elementary,and Seawell Elementary. The Preschool Intervention Program provides a variety of services for preschool children with special needs and their families in our district. This program is for 3-and 4-year-old children and 5-year-old children who are not yet eligible for kindergarten. A large percentage of these children, 88 percent,meet the federal guidelines for free or reduced school meals and 80 percent are of African-American,Latino,Burmese/Asian or mixed race heritage. For 2013-2014,over 100 children with IEP(Individualized Education Plans)and 30+ staff members would benefit from the equipment purchased with grant funds. The Preschool serve a total of about 220 children. Additionally,the materials would be used for years to come future preschoolers and staff as well. Accessible Music and Play for All Preschool Children will be implemented in 2014 as soon hs grant funds are available. The Occupational Therapist who works in the preschools would be responsible for overseeing the use and care of the equipment. All children in the program will have access to the musical devices and they will be incorporated into the arts program for use throughout the school year. • Each School's Art Program—The Preschool Intervention Program targets special needs children in all the preschools and is focused on preparing the children for elementary school. The children in the program are exposed to music by imitating teachers who sing songs with children while they transition from group time to snack,by hearing soft music during naptime,by singing a good morning song and other songs at circle time,by having children listen to recordings of songs and by having the children play rhythm instruments . Children should have access to music at least one hour each day.However,the access of significantly handicapped children to these experiences is limited. Providing these devices so that physically and cognitively handicapped children can more fully experience the music curriculum will support their involvement and engagement as well as add music as a dimension that can reach children in unique ways that other methods, such as talking, cannot.Music can reach people of diverse abilities and has been shown to boost academic success and personal happiness.Coupled with early intervention and education,this project should add tremendous value to the learning experience of these young children. • Description of Devices Use—Grant funds would be used to purchase musical enabling devices, specifically switch-activated devices that are expertly designed electro-mechanical assistive and adaptive devices that enable people with physical challenges to communicate,learn,work,play, and function more easily, effectively, and enjoyably in the world. These devices would be shared by all the preschools on a rotating basis.Music is an art that is important in almost all cultures and that can be enjoyed by all people,regardless of age or ability. Children in particular can be excited by the sounds,rhythms,and beats of music they hear or create. The goals of Accessible Music and Play for All Preschool Children are: (1)To provide age appropriate and accessible musical materials to children in our district with physical and cognitive delays;(2)To provide materials for IEP attainment;(3)to provide materials for social interaction with peers and teachers;(4)to provide materials to increase communication with peers and teachers;and(5)to provide motivating and fun play. Through purchase and use of these materials,the world of music will be opened up to the early learners in our district and will provide enjoyment for years to come.

Project Name:Joy of Guitar Project Director:Eileen Regan Designated Supervisor and School: Emily Bivins, Carrboro Elementary School Amount of Proiect Funding: $975 Number of Participants: 5 in the ongoing project plus 5 more as part of Teacher Treats(part of the school fair.Kids can buy chances to win a particular activity with a teacher.I offered guitar lessons and used the grant guitars to teach these lessons.) Objectives of project: Teach guitar to a group of 4-6 students one day after school for 8 week sessions throughout the school year. Each class will last 40 minutes. I met with the guitar students every Thursday throughout the school year,from September through June.There were 5 students in the class and all of them came to every lesson with very few exceptions.There were 3 times when a student had been absent from school and so could not attend guitar class.There were only two occasions in which a child forgot to come to"Guitar Thursday."One absence occurred the first time we met.The little girl arrived home from school in tears because she realized she had forgotten to go to guitar. Her mother, a refugee from Burma,came in the next day to ask me in her beginner's English if her daughter could still participate. I gave the child an individual lesson during recess to catch her up. She never forgot again.I was unavailable for two weeks in May because I was studying Spanish in Guatemala,another great project funded by the PSF. The same children attended all year long. Sometimes,a child would come to see me before school to practice a new chord or simply to play guitar for a few minutes. The kids have learned to play at least 15 songs.They have learned how to listen to chords and chord changes and to improvise with the chords they know. I highly encouraged them to just play with the sounds guitars can make and find sounds they like and can use. Sometimes, we made up new words to known songs just for fun.A favorite activity in guitar class was to play a game like Red Light, Green Light. When I said green light,everybody got to jam like a rock star,when I said red light they had to stop immediately.My goal was to get them to improvise in a fun,unselfconscious way. The children absolutely want to learn more about guitar.Playing guitar and being a musician has become an important part of who they are.There are three students who are being redistricted and they have already found out about music at their new school. They have discovered that everyone learns guitar in fifth grade. They don't want to wait that long so they invited me to move to their new school with them! The kids are helping each other and their friends at home to learn more chords and strumming patterns. Please summarize the results of this project Please refer to your application to report back on the evaluation piece as you described it in=lying for the grant(attach panes as needed): This was a highly successful project and I plan to teach another guitar group next year. The students in my group included three refugee children and two African American children.Three of the five students are special education students. The children developed a strong and clear sense of community through this group.They love identifying as musicians. I believe that all of them developed a strong sense of belonging at school. One child in particular learned,through guitar and music,that school can be a place to succeed and to be happy and purposeful. All of the students in this group are also children who have needed extra support to learn to read.Reading lyrics proved to be a fun and painless way to practice literacy. Music is inherently mathematical.The children learned to count beats,measures and rests.They learned to understand how the fingerboard is structured like a graph.They learned about chord structure. Did you observe a particular"a-ah"moment with a students parent or staff when s/he/they learned a new concept or particularly benefitted from the project?If so,please describe: There were so many moments like this. The 5 students in the group developed a true sense of community and helped each other at every lesson.I also saw that some of the kids developed a stronger connection to Carrboro than they had had before. One child in particular,who is very talented musically but also quite learning disabled,thrived in the guitar group. The one time he forgot to come to guitar after school,he persuaded his mother to drive him back to school. She then got to witness just how talented he is. He learns chords really fast and them helps the other kids to learn them.This child struggles in school and I think the opportunity to see her son shine was invaluable for this mother. This same child,for whom school has been so difficult,told me "Ms.Regan, if you are still alive when my son comes here to school someday,I want him to be in your guitar group."It was very touching. I think he discovered through guitar that school is a good place to be. The kids are so proud of being musicians. I can tell that they practice at home.(The grant guitars stay at school but I have made sure that each child has a guitar at home. People have been very generous in donating guitars their own kids have outgrown.)One child,another student with learning disabilities,told me he tacked his chord chart to his bedroom wall so he can practice. Most of the kids have talked about playing their guitar with a friend at home. Several of the kids have,on their own, found internet sites for learning guitar. One student got a guitarist at his church to teach him a new chord and also played guitar for this same musician. I am so proud of my guitarlings.They have become musicians and they love playing the guitar.They learned to work together as a group and to help each other. They have learned that playing guitar can be a way to deal with upset feelings and even anger_They came faithfully to guitar class every Thursday from September through June. One student even made sure that his after school reading tutor understood that"Thursdays are for guitar."And all of us had a lot of fun together playing guitars all year. Interestingly,our music teacher recently purchased a set of guitars and plans to add guitar to her curriculum next year.It seems a lot of kids have been asking to learn guitar this year. How could this project have been improved? I learned a lot about teaching guitar to children in the course of this project. I personally have a much clearer idea of how to adapt chords for small hands and how and when to introduce different types of strums. I also hope to invite guitarist friends to come and play and teach on occasion. Four of the five kids have been redistricted so I will definitely be offering this experience to a new group of kids next year. I would like to have more than one ongoing group, if at all possible. How did you share the implementation and/or the results of the grant with your colleagues and/or additional students? The guitar group performed in December at a school assembly.They have also performed for their own classes as a group. Several teachers have visited our guitar class and have had many positive comments. Our assistant principal observed one day and was very excited about all the good things happening in the group. I have had many conversation with classroom teachers about this guitar group. To a one,they have noted how excited my guitarlings are about coming to guitar class. Several people have told me that the kids look really happy when they are on the way to guitar and when they are in the guitar class.Our school psychologist told me she believes that the guitar class,and spending that special time with me, is what kept one child coming back to school and making progess. The children performed at the our school's end of year assembly.They played and sang Hokey Pokey and the packed auditorium sang along with them.It was fabulous. How could the Student Enrichment Grant(SEG)process itself be improved? I really don't have any suggestions.I think the SEG process is easy and straightforward as it is. How did you acknowledge the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Foundation's grant? I publicized this within the school. Because I deliberately chose children who are economically disadvantaged, I did not feel able to publicize this project further. I did tell the parents of my guitarlings about the grant,in part so they would understand they did not have to spend any money in order for their child to learn guitar. I would like to acknowledge two local businesses. High Strung Guitars in Durham lent me a few different types of guitars last spring so I could determine the best type to purchase for my group.Also,Carrboro Music Loft has offered to replace strings on the guitars free of charge. My friend,Joff Coe,a-guitarist and instrument repairman,repaired, at no charge,a donated guitar for one of the students to keep. I'd also like to thank Carmen Castanet,first grade teacher at Carrboro,for lending me her classroom every Thursday afternoon. Olivia Hart,an intern with the PSF, visited and filmed a guitar class. She also interviewed me about Joy of Guitar. She will be submitting her film to the PSF. And,of course,I want to thank all of you at the Public School Foundation for generously supporting this project. You have made a difference in the lives of these children.

Thank you for your assistance. Project Name: Phoenix Academy High School Arts Program: Spoken Word Project Project Director: Rachael Kares Designated Supervisor and School: John Williams, principal Amount of Project Funding: $1400 Number of Participants: 25-30 Objectives of project: The purpose of this project is to continue an Arts Program at Phoenix Academy. Students at PAHS have access to arts-based learning through the Arts Program which is funded by the Student Enrichment Grant. Arts-based learning is an important aspect to any education; it offers students the opportunity to think critically and analytically. Art-based learning also allows students to be innovative and creative in their experiential process. The premise behind this project is to bring community members into PAHS to facilitate workshops in arts education. The objective of the 2012-2013 Arts Program was to work in conjunction with the Sacrificial Poets, a non-profit spoken word poetry youth program. Please summarize the results of this project. Please refer to your application to report back on the evaluation piece as you described it in applying for the grant (attach pages as needed The results of the 2012-2013 PAHS Arts Program were a success. Students enrolled in ELA courses worked with workshop facilitators each semester. We held one to two week long intensives in which students worked with an artist in residence from the Sacrificial Poets. Students actively participated in accountable talk practices, developed speaking and listening skills, and continued to polish their writing and performance abilities. Common Core standards were addressed throughout the workshop series as the facilitators worked with me to address learning benchmarks. Additionally, the workshop facilitators collaborated with me to integrate my current curriculum into their workshops. I also worked with workshop facilitators to create modified assignments for students that benefit from differentiated instruction. Students also had the opportunity to work directly in the community. Many PAHS students have participated in poetry events at the Chapel Hill Teen Center, Flyleaf Books, the Carrboro Arts Center, and UNC. Many of our students have enrolled in Poetry Club, which is a branch of the PAHS Arts Program. The PAHS Art Program cultivated a sense of community in the classroom and extended beyond our building. Did you observe a particular "a-ah" moment with a student/s, parent or staff when s/he/they learned a new concept or particularly benefitted from the project? If so, please describe: An "a-ha" moment for me this year was realizing how important it is to offer students a chance to tell their stories. In a classroom drenched in high academic standards, rigorous thinking, and standardized testing, educators often fail to acknowledge the most important teaching tool we have: our students. Spoken word poetry has no limits. With spoken word, students are encouraged to write what matters to them and they are supported in sharing stories without judgment. This is not to say that spoken word does not provoke rigorous thinking, it does. Extended metaphors, vivid imagery, strong language, and other high level thinking skills are promoted in a spoken word workshop. However, the tone of the classroom changes with spoken word. The classroom is no longer about the teacher pumping out information for students. Rather, it is about an exploration, a place where there are no right or wrong answers but instead, an analysis of ideas and perspectives. It is this environment that I strive to provide for my students with or without spoken word poetry. One cannot teach effectively without building trust in the classroom, and this project helps us to initiate a space of assurance, communication, and reverence. How could this project have been improved? One of our biggest challenges at PAHS is our low student attendance. I would like to use the PAHS Arts Program as an incentive to get students to improve on their attendance. For example, if we use the Arts Program as part of our PBIS (positive behavior intervention support) program, our students may strive to come to school every day in order to participate in the workshops. An improvement for the project would be to offer some sort of reward for students that complete the workshop series without missing a single day. One of the frustrations that both the workshop facilitators and I had was that we would rarely have the same group of students from day to day. A student may have missed Monday's workshop whereas a different student missed Wednesday's workshop and so on. If we can come up with an incentive to get our kids here to participate, it would make everyone's time and investment in the project worthwhile. How did you share the implementation and/or the results of the grant with your colleagues and/or additional students? Students that were not enrolled in ELA courses had the opportunity to join the PAHS poetry club. Poetry Club meets one to two times a week during lunch in my classroom. Many of the activities we do in poetry club are similar to what we learned in the workshop series. Students that have had classroom workshops take the reins in poetry club and offer leadership to the group. Additionally, Students and staff members participated in a school wide performance by the Sacrificial Poets.A handful of PAHS students will be participating in the 5th Annual Word Rilvery Poetry Slam at the end of the month. How could the Student Enrichment Grant (SEG) process itself be improved? I found the SEG process to be clear and accessible. How did you acknowledge the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Foundation's grant? (Please attach any applicable printed material.) The Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Foundation's grant was acknowledged at staff meetings and at the PAHS parent night. Each workshop facilitator was given information about the Public School Foundation's grant and understands that the workshops are being funded by grant money provided by PSF. We were also required to make a list of accomplishments for PAHS this year, and for many of the accomplishments we made note that the PSF supported all of the opportunities we were able to give to our students. Additionally, when talking to community members about the extra-curricular activities that we have at PAHS, it is always made clear that we do not have "extra-curricular", but with the help of the PSF, we are able to fund additional educational opportunities for our students. Students, staff members, and community members understand the vital role that the PSF plays in our students' success. Without grant funding, our students would be left without an Arts Program, community garden, and field trips.
