Proaosed Use of Grant Funds:
The proposed use of the grant is to fund Graphic Artist/Photographer Laura Williams as a guest
educator who will team up with CIS Music Educator and Developer, Max Puhala, to
collaboratively develop and lead eight 1 -hour hands -on, cross - disciplinary arts lessons as part
of the Bucket Drumming Ensemble afterschool curriculum for at -risk youth at each of the four
CIS Orange afterschool programs in the district for Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools.
Max Puhala is a Chapel Hill -based musician and former AmeriCorps member who currently
directs the Bucket Drumming Ensemble afterschool program for CIS Orange, which takes place
from 4:30 — 5:30pm three days a week for 15 days total at four middle schools in Orange
County. He has written and taught the curriculum to over 200 at -risk students since September
of 2014, and is working to diversity the 2015 -16 curriculum with cross - disciplinary guest lessons
taught by Laura Williams.
Laura Williams is an artist who received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Vermont
and is currently living in North Carolina, where she composes textural backgrounds greatly
influenced by flora and fauna. The grant will support both Williams' artist fee to teach two guest
lessons at each of the four schools during the 2015 -16 school year (a total of eight lessons),
administrative expenses, and the purchase of graphite pencils and large pieces paper for the
lessons. Puhala and Williams will collaboratively plan and teach each lesson, which will function
as an extension of Puhala's music curriculum. The lessons will introduce the concept of
"patterns" into the students' drumming, relating the musical and rhythmic percussion patterns
they are learning to the visual patterns drawn by Williams and also to the patterns in their own
lives.
Students will listen to different drum sounds generated by Mr. Puhala and their peers, and will
individually draw visual marks on paper to represent their response to the different sounds
(loud, soft, aggressive, relaxed, etc.). The students will then compare their individual marks with
their classmates, where certain patterns of marks will begin to emerge. These marks will come
to create and represent a visual "language" of sound that the students will all know how to write
and understand. Then, the students will break into groups and write down long sequences of
these marks on paper, in effect visually composing a new musical piece from their own new
visual language. Finally, the students will all reconvene to practice and perform their
compositions together while reading from the "sheet music," written in their newly developed
visual and musical language.
In the 2015 -16 academic year, the CIS Orange Bucket Drumming Ensemble afterschool
program will occur in Smith, Culbreth, McDougal, and Phillips Middle Schools. Williams' lessons
will take place on days 3 and 4 of the 15 -day Bucket Drumming Ensemble curriculum and will
further diversify the lessons, which already include North Carolina Essential Standards for
Music, Science, Language Arts, and World History, Laura Williams' lessons will additionally
include and teach NC standards for Visual Arts 6.V.2.2 "Use observation skills of the immediate
environment to create visual imagery," 6.CX.2.2 "Understand the connections between art and
other disciplines," and 7.V.2.3 "Create original art emphasizing selected elements and principles
to express ideas or feelings."

CIS Orange Board Presentation In-class at McDougle Middle
"Honestly, I've always loved music. Only a few people know that and I'm
ready to tell the world about my passion for music. Drumming is not only fun,
but it relieves stress and anger. If you let me, I will take the opportunity to tell
everybody how far we have gone in drumming. I assure you that they will be
so proud of us and Max."

Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is in response to your request for a copy of your
organization' s determination letter . This letter will take the place of
the copy you requested-
Our records indicate that a determination letter issued in February, 1994
granted your organization exemption from federal income tax under section
501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code . That letter is still in effect .
Based on information subsequently submitted, ,we classified your
organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of
section 509 (a) of the Code because it is an organization described in
section 509 (a) (1) & 170 (b) (1) (A) (vi) .
This classification was based on the assumption that your organization' s
operations would continue as stated in the application . If your
organization' s sources of support, or its character, method of operations,
or purposes have changed, please let us know so we can consider the effect
of the change on the exempt status and foundation status of your
organization.
Your organization is required to file Form 990 , Return of Organization
Exempt from Income Tax, only if its gross receipts each year are normally
more than $25, 000 . If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th
day of the fifth month after the end of the organization' s annual
accounting period. The law imposes a penalty of $20 a day, up to a maximL
of $10, 000 , when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause
for the delay.
All exempt organizations (unless specifically excluded) are liable for
taxes under the Federal Insurance Contri,hutions Act (social security taxes
on remuneration of $100 or more paid to- each employee during a calendar
year . Your organization is not liable -for the tax imposed under the
Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) .
Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the
excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code . However, these organizations
are not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes .

Orange County Communities in Schools, Inc .
Donors may deduct contributions to your organization as provided in section
170 of the Code . Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to your
organization or for its use are deductible for federal estate and gift tax
purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of sections 2055 , 2106, and
2522 of the Code .
Your organization is not required to file federal income tax returns unless
it is subject to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of
the Code . If your organization is subject to this tax, it must file an
income tax return on the Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income
Tax Return. In this letter, we are not determining whether any of your
organization' s present or proposed activities are unrelated trade or
business as defined in section 513 of the Code .
Because this lf,�tt.er could help resolve any questions about your
organization' s exempt status and foundation status, you should keep it with
the organization' s permanent records .
Please direct any questions to the person identified in the letterhead
above _
This letter affirms your organization' s exempt status .
Sincerely,
C. Ashley Bullard
District Director
