No W hat are you requesting funding for? A specific program or project Project/Program Summary This grant proposal is to help bring in 3 arts ev ents for the students at Ephesus Elementary. ONE: W e are hoping to bring in local theatre artist/writer Mike W iley to perform his original piece, "Tired Souls: The Montgomery Bus Boycott" which examines the Rosa Parks boycott through a theatrical lease. This piece is for 3rd -5th graders and has a multitude of history curriculum parallels for the students. TW O: W e'd like to bring in is Number Drummer, which is North Carolinian percussionist/artist Troy Kryzalka. His program consists of interactiv e percussion and rhythm explorations that tie in math curriculum for all grades. W e hope to bring him in for two performances (one for K-2nd graders and one for 3rd-5th graders). Each program is tapered to the age group. THREE: W e'd like to bring in a theatre performance of "A Sick Day for Amos McGee" from Children's Theatre of Charlotte for grades K-2nd. This is based on the Caldecott awarded book and explores kindness and empathy. It is part of the theatre company's The Kindness Project initiativ e which seeks and commissions original work grounded in displaying kindness towards others. Here is a financial breakdown for each artist we are hoping to bring in: Mike W iley - $1250.00 Number Drummer - $1195.00 (two performances) Children's Theatre of Charlotte - $1450 TOTAL: $3895.00 Project Start Date (no earlier than July 1, 2022) September 10, 2022 Project End Date (no later than June 30, 2023) May 31, 2023 Project Goals Our goal is to enrich the students perspectiv es on the arts, while prov iding creativ e links to current curriculum they are studying in the classrooms. W e hope to prov ide arts programs that are inclusiv e and explore the div ersities in our community and world. DocuSign Envelope ID: E7F30E51-08F8-4483-84D9-D991CC281E6E Cirruculum and Enrichment W e hav e 3 programs we are hoping to bring in. Mike W iley's "Tired Souls: The Montgomery Bus Boycott" explores the boycott surrounding Rosa Parks not giv ing up her seat on the bus in Montgomery in 1955. This is a 50-minute performance that introduces audiences to fellow heroes and heroines including Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colv in and others instrumental in the Civ il Rights Mov ement who changed the course of U.S. history. There is a study guide for teachers to continue in the classroom along with a question/answer session after the performance for grades 3-5. Our second program, Number Drummer, is an interactiv e performance that utilizes math skills and has been recognized by Yale Univ ersity as an innov ativ e approach to teaching and brings math curriculum for grades K-5. Our third program, "A Sick Day for Amos McGee" is focused on kindness and empathy and is a story that enriches the perspectiv es of younger audiences (K-2nd) in hopes of grounding them in kind choices. Audience Description The demographics of the school population are as follows. • Approximately 12% of students self-identify as African American. • Approximately 14% of students self-identify as Hispanic. • Approximately 19% of students self-identify as Asian and Other Race. • Approximately 55% of students self-identify as W hite. • 29% of the student population qualifies for free or reduced lunch. • 18% of students use English as a second language. • 19% of school population is identified as Exceptional Children including two self-contained classrooms of four children in each classroom, 54 students with Indiv idual Education Plans, and 26 students with Section 504 Accommodation Plans. Location Description All Cultural Arts Performances are held in the school’s Gymnasium. The Gymnasium is accessible through multiple doors and has a raised stage at one end and flat open floor space in the other. For "Tired Souls: The Montgomery Bus Boycott" the stage can be utilized for performance and the students (3rd-5th graders) can be comfortably seated and spaced on the floor. For Number Drummer, we can use the entire gymnasium space to set up any percussion instruments or interactiv e components and hav e the performance in the round which will accommodate two separate performances on the same day (K-2nd graders and 3rd-5th graders). For "A Sick Day for Amos McGee", the stage can be used for the theatre performance and the audience (K-2nd graders) can comfortably be seated and spaced on the main floor area. DocuSign Envelope ID: E7F30E51-08F8-4483-84D9-D991CC281E6E Artist Description Mike W iley: Acclaimed local NC actor/playwright brings to life historical African-American figures for young audiences. W e chose Mike W iley because we had the joy of hav ing him come a few years ago to perform his "Jackie Robinson" piece and he was so engaging. W e feel his stories are important, relev ant and hav e the ability to expand historical understanding. Number Drummer: A NC musician/artist he uses his skills as a percussionist to engage young audiences in an interactiv e performance exploring math. W e originally had Number Drummer scheduled in spring of 2020, but as the world shut down we were unable to hav e him in the school that year. W e would lov e to reschedule for this upcoming year. Children's Theatre of Charlotte: a theatre company for young audiences exploring original work. W e chose them for this next year because of their newer initiativ e, The Kindness Project, which focuses on original work written around the themes of kindness and empathy. Are you hiring multicultural artists with the requested funds from this grant? Yes For each multicultural artist you intend to hire, please list their name, race, and how much you plan to pay them. Mike W iley is African American and we plan to pay him his requested performance fee of $1250 for "Tired Souls: The Montgomery Bus Boycott". How will the project/program be publicized and promoted to reach intended participants? W e will announce at school and send home flyers with students about the programs the PTA is bringing into the school. Along with announcements in our PTA newsletter, teachers will get updates and any study guide/prep questions leading up to the performances for use in the classroom. How will you evaluate the success of the program? The PTA will send out a feedback form to our teachers and hav e ongoing dialogue about what they liked about the performance for their students and what they'd like to see in the future. Additionally, we check in with the performers to gage how they felt in our community. W e also plan to hav e PTA representativ es at each performance to observ e how it is being receiv ed.
