The MES mission is to <br /> support the academic and personal growth of all students through a <br /> positive, inclusive and collaborative culture, The MES Vision is: <br /> Together we learn. Together we grow. Together we celebrate success <br /> as we go. Since the school opened in 1996, MES has demonstrated <br /> its strong commitment to the arts, which we view as an important <br /> aspect of making this mission and vision a reality for all students. <br /> The MES arts curriculum is based on the Common Core and NC <br /> Essential Standards. The MES arts faculty - including Erin <br /> Rasmussen as the art teacher and Chelsea Kutner as the music <br /> teacher - plan and implement an academically engaging and <br /> enriching arts curriculum for the entire student body. All students <br /> participate in arts education and creative expression in the MES Art <br /> and Music classes that are offered several times a week throughout <br /> the school year. <br /> The MES Parent Teacher Association (PTA) works hand in hand with <br /> the school's administration and teachers to help make every child's <br /> potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and <br /> communities to advocate for all children. The PTA provides a link <br /> between school, home and the wider community. We work together <br /> to organize events and raise funds to support children's learning and <br /> to make the environment at MES the best it can be. To enhance and <br /> complement the school's arts curriculum, the MES PTA Cultural Arts <br /> Program aims to sponsor three or more high-quality, diverse <br /> professional performances each year. The performances are <br /> presented to all MES students at assemblies that take place during <br /> the school day. We are grateful for many years of OCAC grant <br /> funding support, which has enabled the PTA to consistently offer <br /> these performances to students. To round out our Cultural Arts <br /> Program, the PTA also funds a pottery residency for 4th grade <br /> students and a poetry residency for 5th grade students. <br /> During FY19-20, 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 561976886 <br /> Organization http://mes.chccs.kl2.nc.us/ <br /> Website <br />
