OCAC Enews Did you or a representative of your orgnanization attend one of our grants training sessions? No Nature of Organization Arts Education Provider Schools Only: If you are requesting funds for teaching artists, performing artists, or artists-in-residence, are you booking the artist(s) through the Durham Arts Council's CAPS Program or United Arts Council's Artists in Schools Program? No Organization Description The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation's (PSF) mission is to support public education in Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public Schools through programs that advance student enrichment and teacher development. Our Vision: All Students in our schools receive an excellent and equitable education for the highest quality educators. Our Core Values/Beliefs: Every child deserves the best possible education; excellent educators ignite learning; and high quality public education is essential to academic success and a vibrant community. W hat we do: Create awareness of the value and importance of quality public education; award grants for promising innovative educational practices; provide students with additional academic support and growth opportunities critical to academic success; offer educators and staff financial assistance for professional development; partner with the community and raise financial support from individuals, foundations, and businesses; and manage funds responsibly with the highest degree of ethical standards. DocuSign Envelope ID: 1CB110C9-B0AD-486E-BA03-F3AA0A2A52E5 Has your organization undergone any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training? If so, please explain. If not, please explain any barriers that have prevented you from receiving this training. Yes, PSF staff members have attended DEI trainings--some have been put on by the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City School (CHCCS) District, others by the Racial Equity Institute. PSF believes that one of the major strengths of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is the diversity of the student and teacher populations. In recent years, the immigrant and refugee populations in our school community have increased as Latinx, Burmese, Syrian, and Congolese (to name the largest groups) families have moved into our school District. Numerous studies have shown the benefits of diversity in schools--not only ethnic/race diversity, but diversity with respect to gender, economic background, and religion. The presence of diversity in the classroom allows students to consider perspectives and opinions beyond those they have already formed or were shaped in early life by family and friends. By presenting students with viewpoints different from their own, it gives them the opportunity to think critically about their own beliefs and examine the world in new, informed ways. Research also shows that the more ideas and experiences people are exposed to, the more creative they can be. Additionally, studies have shown that as classrooms become more racially balanced, students feel safer, less bullied, and less lonely. Students also tended to view teachers as fair; they seek out, rather than avoid, cross-race interactions at school. When students enter the professional world, they will join a vast and diverse workforce. Interacting with people of all different backgrounds and mindsets can make students better prepared for their life beyond the school walls. At PSF, both the staff and the Board are committed to including diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our daily work. Thirty six percent of PSF’s Board of Directors members are people of color. A major focus of the Foundation’s programming is support for underserved students, especially our black and brown students, English Language Learners, students with learning differences, and students from low-income backgrounds.

Artist Description Senora Lynch (https://aim-nc.com/senora-lynch) is a Native American potter and a member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe. She is nationally known for her unique style of extraordinarily detailed hand carved pottery. Lynch builds her pots using the traditional coiling method, while decorating her work with Native American symbols and motifs of her childhood in the homeland of her people, “the meadows” of Hollister, NC. Senora became interested in making pottery at age fourteen after having been previously shown ancient pottery shards and assisting with a pottery class for her Haliwa-Saponi tribal elders. She also weaved chair bottoms alongside her mother and grandfather, learned to do beadwork, and started making American Indian regalia. Years later, her passion transformed into a business that she named “Living Traditions” because the designs on her pottery are full of living traditional stories and beliefs of her people. The designs come through the Night Sky and are revealed to her in her dreams. She uses many American Indian symbols and motifs found in the natural environment, including bowls, turtles, lizards, maidens, smudge bowls, wedding vases, bears, which work in unison to convey the story being told on that piece of pottery. Senora’s pottery has evolved to include different shapes, including bowls, turtles, lizards, maidens, smudge bowls, wedding vases, bears, and plaques, among others. Senora is listed in the North Carolina Artist Directory, with which she has served as an artist in residency for over 20 years. Senora has work in permanent collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and at the N.C. Museum of History. Senora was the recipient of the N.C. Folk Heritage Award in 2007 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the River People Music and Culture Fest in 2013, both for her work in promoting and preserving the culture of the Haliwa-Saponi people. Most recently, Senora’s strong designs have made it onto the walkway and seating of the University of NC at Chapel Hill’s campus.

Senora Lynch-Native American Fee + travel-$700 How will the project/program be publicized and promoted to reach intended participants?

She will prepare the students with a pre-visit lesson that will introduce them to Native American pottery, pottery techniques, and the use of pottery across various cultures. She will also do post-visit activities with the students to assess their learning and build on their knowledge and skills. How will you evaluate the success of the program? Teachers will assess student knowledge and understanding with pre- and post-visit discussions. The counselor and positive behavior specialist will assess the effectiveness of the project’s impact on social emotional needs through morning meeting gatherings and through surveys. The Art teacher will evaluate how successful each student was in creating their own ceramic piece. PROJECT/PROGRAM BUDGET Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and income.

Artist Description Senora Lynch (https://aim-nc.com/senora-lynch) is a Native American potter and a member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe. She is nationally known for her unique style of extraordinarily detailed hand carved pottery. Lynch builds her pots using the traditional coiling method, while decorating her work with Native American symbols and motifs of her childhood in the homeland of her people, “the meadows” of Hollister, NC. Senora became interested in making pottery at age fourteen after having been previously shown ancient pottery shards and assisting with a pottery class for her Haliwa-Saponi tribal elders. She also weaved chair bottoms alongside her mother and grandfather, learned to do beadwork, and started making American Indian regalia. Years later, her passion transformed into a business that she named “Living Traditions” because the designs on her pottery are full of living traditional stories and beliefs of her people. The designs come through the Night Sky and are revealed to her in her dreams. She uses many American Indian symbols and motifs found in the natural environment, including bowls, turtles, lizards, maidens, smudge bowls, wedding vases, bears, which work in unison to convey the story being told on that piece of pottery. Senora’s pottery has evolved to include different shapes, including bowls, turtles, lizards, maidens, smudge bowls, wedding vases, bears, and plaques, among others. Senora is listed in the North Carolina Artist Directory, with which she has served as an artist in residency for over 20 years. Senora has work in permanent collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and at the N.C. Museum of History. Senora was the recipient of the N.C. Folk Heritage Award in 2007 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the River People Music and Culture Fest in 2013, both for her work in promoting and preserving the culture of the Haliwa-Saponi people. Most recently, Senora’s strong designs have made it onto the walkway and seating of the University of NC at Chapel Hill’s campus.
