DocuSign Envelope ID: C72301 F8- C876 -41 B8- A410- 1772A854FDOB <br />Organization Mary Scroggs Elementary School (Scroggs) is a vibrant and diverse <br />Description school, educating 516 students who speak 13 different languages. <br />Our mission is "Through consistent effort and growth, every child will <br />achieve and succeed!" The Scroggs staff work together to meet the <br />goals of promoting the academic achievement of all students, <br />providing enrichment and support so every student can reach his or <br />her full potential, and enhancing appreciation of the school's cultural <br />diversity and social responsibility. Our cultural arts program includes <br />an innovative, choice -based visual arts studio and a dynamic music <br />program offering multiple clubs, instrumental, and choral <br />performances throughout the year. Arts enrichment is a priority at <br />Scroggs, as reflected by our commitment to hosting local guest <br />artists and musicians who mentor our students during the school <br />day and free STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and <br />Math) enrichment clubs after school targeted for students who might <br />not have access to such activities outside of school. In addition, we <br />have received several grants from OCAC to enrich our community, <br />from creating permanent public murals to hosting Paperhand Puppet <br />artist Donovan Zimmerman to work with our students and inspire <br />them with school -wide performances. We also hold several arts <br />productions, including two chorus concerts (one at the school and <br />another in the community near the school), and an all- inclusive <br />cultural arts festival called Frogfest, which incorporates dance, <br />instrumental and choral music, theater, and visual arts. In addition, <br />we host several evening events annually to bring together staff, <br />students, parents, and extended family members, including <br />Multicultural Night and STEAM Night. This spring's STEAM Night <br />involved 130 guest scientists and 20 teachers leading hands -on <br />activities, many art- related, for more than 500 participants. <br />During FY18 -19, will No <br />your organization <br />receive operational <br />support funding from <br />the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the <br />North Carolina <br />Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />Organization's EIN 566001004 <br />Organization <br />Website <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Name <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Title <br />www.mses.chccs.kl2.nc.us <br />Crystal Epps <br />Principal <br />
