5 Arts Program Application Narrative
School Profile
McDougle Elementary School (MES) has a population of 510 students who represent a wide
range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. The table below presents our current
demographic breakdown:
Gender Race/National Origin
• Female:244 • African-American: 74 • Hispanic:89 • Caucasian:282
• Male:266 • Asian: 36 • Multiracial:29
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 56 students classified as English Language Learners (ELL). MES also has
over 30 students in our Exceptional Children program, who are educated in regular classrooms
and/or self-contained classrooms, according to their specific needs. Our three self-contained
classrooms include a classroom for students with autism (2 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 2016-17 school year.
School's Arts Programs
We are working with the Carrboro Arts Center to confirm booking of two performers (three
shows total) during the 2016-17 school year, and we anticipate adding another one to two
performances later in the school year. The Arts Center performances planned are as follows:
• Origami Tales (November 2016)
• Hear the Sound (tentatively scheduled for January 2017)
• One to two additional performances to be scheduled
The PTA Cultural Arts Program also funds a poetry residency for 5th 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

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 Origami Tales and Hear the Sound 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).

7 Resumes of Key Artists and Administrators Involved in Grant Funded
Programs
Kuniko Yamamoto
A native of Japan, Kuniko Yamamoto received her Bachelor of Psychology from Otani
University of Kyoto, Japan in 1983. Started performing professionally in her hometown of Osaka
where she grew up studying traditional dance, music and theater. She has received national
exposure performing Japanese Storytelling at the Silk Road International Exposition and on
Kansai National TV in 1985. Studied with Tony Montanaro.
The following year Kuniko traveled to the United States to study with Tony Montanaro, highly
respected mime and actor. Then three years after began touring with Leland Faulkner Light
Theater where she helped present lavish stage illusions and brought ancient tales to life with
shadows and magic. For the next five years she has performed constantly in theaters, schools,
colleges, and festivals across the country. In 1992, Kuniko left the Faulkner Light Theater troupe
to move to Florida. Married to Jon LeClair, a world-renowned magician whose books appear in
magic shops worldwide has been helping her add subtle magic and mystery to her very special
act. Kuniko has dazzled audiences in such venues as the Kennedy Center (Washington DC),
Disney Epcot Japanese Pavilion, Seattle's International Children's Festival/ Giant Magnet,
International Children's Festival in Canada, National Storytelling Festival and the LA Music
Center/Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County.
In the last two decades she has been presenting her programs throughout the United States,
also recognized by the Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina of Arts Council since 2000.
A passionate origami folder, Kuniko received Tempo Award from Origami USA in 2007.
Charles Pettee
Charles Pettee's fresh approach to the traditional arts of flatpicking and folksinging began during
his childhood in Asheville, NC, where he started on guitar and mandolin at an early age. He is
co-founder of Flying Fish recording artist The Shady Grove Band from Chapel Hill, NC, which
has delighted audiences across the US, Canada, and Europe for over twenty years. His
distinctive mandolin style, voice, and original compositions are an essential part of the group's
appeal and garner airplay in over twenty foreign countries.
Charles Pettee & FolkPsalm, founded in 2004, has a reputation for musical integrity,
professionalism, and ability to inspire. Through their performance, the 3,000 year old sacred
poems of the Hebrews —the Psalms —sound startlingly contemporary in their deeply human
expressions of ecstasy, dread, defiance, and hope in the hands of these fine NC musicians.
Charles has hosted workshops on both guitar and mandolin technique at some of the most
prestigious music festivals in the US and Europe (including Walnut Valley Festival, Winfield, KS,
and MerleFest, Wilkesboro, NC). Charles has been the driving force behind Chuck and the
Waggin'Ears for over twenty years. They have delighted audiences at clubs, festivals, and
special events with their blend of traditional bluegrass and original compositions. The
Waggin'Ears have the spontaneity and joy of good friends making the music they love,
combined with the stage presence and audience appeal of the seasoned professionals that they
are.
Charles' school programs called "Hear the Sound" share the history of southern string music
with audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Either solo, or with The Shady Grove
Band, or Chuck and the Waggin'Ears, he has performed over 5,000 shows in his thirty-two
years as a professional musician.

12 Sample Programs, Press, or Other Materials from This Program
Origami Tales
Pre- & Post- Show Activities for Origami Tales:
Kindergarten-2nd Grade Students
• Listen to Japanese Folk Tales, read by teacher (http://web-
japan.org/kidsweb/folk/index.html)
• Discuss personal preferences related to Kuniko's performance
• Write a letter to Kuniko. Draw or paint your favorite part of the show to decorate your letter.
• Retell `the cat and ox story', one of Kuniko's stories, adding animal's sound.
• Count how many triangles, squares and rectangles in your classroom.
3rd-5t" Grade Students
• Read Japanese Folk Tales (http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/folk/index.html)
• Write a sequel to "Urushi Dragon' from Kuniko's show
• Draw or paint your favorite part of the show
• Discuss to find differences and similarities between Japanese and American tales
Hear the Sound
Excerpt of the Study Guide for Charles Pettee's "Hear the Sound" program:
Kindergarten-2nd Grade Students
• Hear the Sound for grades PreK-2 is an interactive and fun way to introduce children to the
instruments and melodies of southern US string music from the "Pilgrims to the present".
The songs that Mr. Pettee performs are a part of the oral tradition of our southern heritage,
(CR.1.1 & Social Studies, e.g., 2.C.2.1).
• The Instruments: Mr. Pettee shares several traditional instruments with the children,
(2.MR.1.4), as well as singing, and inviting them to clap and sing, (1.ML.1.3). Over the
course of the show, he will describe and play 6-string acoustic guitar, 5-string banjo, 8-string
mandolin, and harmonica.
• The Songs (K-2.ML.1): Every show features some or all of the following songs: "The
Wildwood Flower," "Oh, Suzanna," "The Old Grey Mare," "Old Joe Clark," "Amazing Grace,"
"Mole in the Ground," "Soldier's Joy," "Cluck Old Hen," "Cripple Creek," "She'll Be Comin'
Round the Mountain," "This Little Light of Mine," and other great traditional southern
songs/tunes.
• On being a good audience (2.MR.1.3): This, and any special visiting programs, whether in
the classroom, or in an assembly, provide a great opportunity for the children to learn proper
audience behavior. Good audiences assemble in an orderly fashion, treat their guest with
exemplary manners, pay attention, participate enthusiastically when invited to do so, and
show appreciation with applause when appropriate. Following these simple matters of
common courtesy brings out the best in your performer and creates an atmosphere in which
all can have fun and learn. It is equally important that teachers not converse or grade papers
during programs, as they are the example the children are following.
3rd-5t" Grade Students
• The setting is 200 years ago, right where we are now, in NC, (or Virginia, or South
Carolina...). People from many parts of the world lived here at that time, (as is the case

nowadays). Some of the people came directly from Scotland, Ireland, and England. Some of
them relocated here from other parts of the US, such as people of German origin that came
down from Pennsylvania. There were some people from France and Spain, who relocated
from elsewhere, too. Some of the people were of West African origin, both slaves and
freedmen. All of these very different cultures had distinctive songs and instruments. The
variety of musical styles of the time is a great way to get a glimpse of this tapestry of
cultures, (3.C.1.2; 4.C.1.2; 5.C.1.4).
ACTIVITY: Find the above named places on the world map or globe. If appropriate,
review/discuss when and how people emigrated from those places to the US. Go around
the classroom and ask the kids if they know from where their families/ancestors came.
• Mr. Pettee will perform songs from many of those people and places listed above in the
program. He will play dance songs, works songs, songs from plays, and songs for worship,
(3-5. CR.1.1). Most of the songs Mr. Pettee will play are classified as folk songs, (songs of
specific cultures that are passed around from person to person, and generation to
generation by the oral tradition,just like stories and dances). At least one song Mr. Pettee
will play is classical, (that is, created by a particular composer, and written down to be
performed in a specific way). He will play popular songs from the time, too, (which can be
written down, or not. The difference between "pop" songs and folk songs is that popular
songs may appeal to a wide variety of different cultures and backgrounds. Sometimes folk
songs become popular, and so become "pop" songs, such as the music from the movie 0
Brother Where Art Thou, the Irish folk music in Titanic, and so on). These are some of the
things that musicologists study, and are mostly beyond the scope of this program, but it is
interesting to discuss, and helps the students understand more about music and culture.
ACTIVITY: Discuss different types of music that teachers and kids enjoy today
(4.MR.1.2). Examples may include music from cartoons and movies, church music,
songs on the radio, and funny songs. See if you can identify music from different
cultures in the songs (4.MR.1.1). Examples may be Latino sounds, bluegrass sounds,
African-based sounds, etc. (5.C.1.4).
• During the show, Mr. Pettee will perform on the following instruments: the sixstring guitar,
the eight-string mandolin, the five string banjo, the ten-hole harmonica, and his voice.
(3.MR.1.4)
ACTIVITY: Discuss what kinds of instruments the kids or their family members/friends
play, or are learning to play. What do these instruments sound like? Which ones use
strings to make sounds? Which ones use air? What do you think of when you hear a
banjo? What do you think of when you hear drums playing a marching rhythm?
