DocuSign Envelope ID:8098AFC6-0436-4DCB-B911-252527D 189DE <br /> With this grant, we would broaden Mr. Zimmerman's partnerships with the District and the <br /> Scroggs art program to fund a school-wide performance by Paperhand Puppet Intervention. <br /> This would deepen the students' connection to this expressive art, and introduce them to <br /> this talented group of artists active in our community and around the world. <br /> The PTA has funded or helped fund school-wide assemblies for cultural arts performances <br /> in the past, and enthusiastically supports this proposal as reflected by its commitment to <br /> provide the matching funds. Our cafeteria and gymnasium combine to hold the <br /> approximately 600 students and staff who would attend the performance. Scroggs serves <br /> 510 students (54% males and 46% females) between the ages of 5 and 11 who reside in <br /> Chapel Hill and Carrboro. In addition to having a Title I program based on economic <br /> diversity, the Scroggs student community is racially diverse as well, with students identified <br /> as African Americans (13%), Asian Americans (10%), Caucasians (56%), Hispanics/Latinos <br /> (11%), and two or more ethnicities (10%). <br /> Why us? Why now? We want to complement the existing partnership between Paperhand <br /> Puppet Intervention and our school occurring this Spring, and we want every Scroggs Frog <br /> to experience the art and magic that it encompasses. The grand scale of Mr. Zimmerman's. <br /> puppets matches our grand mission to ensure all of our students have access to cultural <br /> arts experiences. Think big! <br />
