The table below presents our current demographic breakdown: Gender Race/National Origin • Female:239 • African-American:74 • Hispanic:80 • Native American: 1 • Male: 260 • Asian:33 • Multiracial:27 • White:284 Approximately 30 percent of MES students qualify for free or reduced lunch, which indicates that nearly one out of every three MES families is dealing with issues related to poverty. In addition, we have 50 students classified as English Language Learners (ELL). MES also has 44 students in our Exceptional Children program, who are educated in regular classrooms and/or self-contained classrooms, according to their specific needs. Our four self-contained classrooms include two classrooms for students with autism (12 students) and two Life Skills classrooms for students with severe and profound learning challenges (9 students). Given the demographic and socio-economic composition of our school, a large percentage of our students have limited opportunities to experience professional cultural arts performances outside the school environment. The struggling economy, declining resources allocated to the arts, and limited fundraising opportunities make it necessary for the MES PTA to seek additional funding to supplement our Cultural Arts Program budget. MES has demonstrated its strong commitment to the arts since the school opened in 1996. The MES Arts curriculum is based on the Common Core and NC Essential Standards. To enhance and complement the curriculum, the MES PTA sponsors at least three different professional cultural arts performances each year, as well as artist residencies. The MES PTA Cultural Arts Coordinator works collaboratively with the Orange County Arts Commission and cultural arts representatives from other Orange County schools to carefully select each performance to respond to the needs of students across the community. We aim to select performances that provide strong multidisciplinary linkages to the school's curriculum (e.g., arts education, language arts, science, math, social studies and positive behavior), and represent a variety of cultures and art forms(e.g., dance, music, drama, storytelling and poetry). Our goal is to expose students to a wide range of artistic expression throughout their elementary school years. The two performances for which we currently seek funding offer a unique learning opportunity for our students during the 2015-,16 school year. School's Arts Programs In 2015-2016,the PTA Cultural Arts Program includes the following shows: • Red Herring Puppets(October 2015) • Didgeridoo Down Under(January 2016) • Gustafer Yellowgold (March 2016) The PTA Cultural Arts Program also funds a poetry residency for 51h grade students and a pottery residency for 4th grade students. The PTA will continue building partnerships with the community at large by inviting local organizations to showcase students'work at the end of these residencies. Proposed Uses of Grant Funds We are seeking matching funds to pay artists'fees for the following performances,which will be held on school premises in January 2016 and March 2016.

Once settled on Earth, he begins to explore and marvel at his surroundings, go on adventures, interact with his new friends, learning both the positive and negative aspects of life and relationships and experiencing the myriad emotions that we all experience in our lives. Themes of friendship, love, longing, humor, death,jealousy, independence, excitement,joy, exploration, wonder, curiosity, anger and imagination abound throughout.

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 Essential Standards and the Common Core, particularly focusing on the Arts Education component. The Didgeridoo Down Under and Gustafer Yellowgold artists provide instructional materials to correspond with their performances,which are distributed to MES teachers. Each teacher is responsible for integrating these materials and lessons from the performances with the curriculum in each classroom.These linkages most often take place on a grade-wide level, with teacher teams in each grade using the same lesson in their classrooms. These lessons are also reinforced during relevant`specials' classes(e.g., art, music, library).

Darren Liebman first learned about the didgeridoo while visiting relatives in Australia in 1999, his fourth of many trips Down Under. He bought his first didg in 2000, and felt an immediate deep connection with the termite-hollowed eucalyptus trunk. Upon returning to the U.S., he taught himself how to play and decided to share the didgeridoo's positive vibrations with as many people as possible. In 2001 he founded Didg Revolution, dually a didgeridoo-percussion musical trio and a movement focused on expanding awareness of the didgeridoo and the rich Aboriginal culture behind it. In 2002 he created DDU, an Australia-themed edu-tainment program. He and his mates perform at schools, libraries,festivals and other venues throughout the U.S. Since 2003 they have combined to present more than 4,900 shows and workshops at 2,000-plus venues for well over 400,000 viewers and participants. The multi-talented duo of Rob Thomas and Tanya Gerard are true didgeridoo pioneers in the U.S., having played and made didges for more than 20 years. They've performed throughout the country, have recorded several CDs, and have produced music for numerous films, including the IMAX movie Sacred Planet. Tanya grew up in Australia, and both she and Rob have traveled extensively abroad. They lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for 22 years before moving to North Carolina in 2013 to work full-time with DDU. They're especially excited to help kids become better global citizens through motivational messages about character building, environmentalism and literacy. Tanya has written a children's book, The Adventures of the Wild, Wild Wolf. Raihan Alam has been a DDU edu-tainer since 2008. He is committed to fostering appreciation for cultural diversity, empathy and cooperation. He incorporates worldly musical instruments into his performances for a truly multicultural experience. Raihan discovered the didgeridoo in 2005, and he's been a dedicated disciple ever since. Originally a drummer, he has been playing Middle Eastern percussion and specializing in the Arabic tabla (doumbek) since 2002. Raihan's shows also feature his pet reptiles. He uses the reptiles, including Jellybean the Australian blue- tongued lizard, to educate about Australian ecology and biodiversity. Lindsey Dank was DDU's most prolific performer from 2006-2013, presenting almost 2,000 programs in 20 states. He still performs part-time for DDU, mostly in Florida and the Southeast. He's also a founding member of Didg Revolution, and creator of Giving Tree Creations. Lindsey began playing the didgeridoo in May 2000 after hearing about its connection to the Australian Aboriginal people on a public radio program. He celebrates the didgeridoo as a musical, cultural and global icon. He strives to bridge racial and societal gaps, and to open the heart and mind to new possibilities, through his music and presentations. Jeremy Lembo shaped and honed his skills as a musician through many years of formal music training,which set him up perfectly for playing the didgeridoo. He first heard the didg while watching a PBS Special at age 3. He rediscovered this interest in 1998 while traveling in Peru, when he heard a fellow traveler playing this incredible instrument on the streets of Cusco. Upon returning to the U.S. he purchased his first didg, and has been playing ever since. Jeremy is a founding member of Didg Revolution and a part-time DDU performer. Jeremy also specializes in making and selling custom-crafted didgeridoos of all wood types.
