DocuSign Envelope ID: F910E8F7-37AE-4D5A-AED4-B1E2AED21F77 <br /> Organization Carrboro Elementary School (CES) is a community-based Pre K-5th <br /> Description grade school that has been serving students for over 50 years. The <br /> school has an English-Spanish dual-language program and uses arts <br /> programming to enhance multicultural learning and to introduce <br /> students to art forms and performance from around the world. <br /> The arts are important to CES. All students attend art and music <br /> once a week for 45 minutes each. In music, students sing, move, <br /> listen, play instruments, and compose. Grade levels perform musical <br /> selections in assemblies and at year-end performances. This past <br /> winter our 2nd graders performed "A Trip to the Tropics" featurng <br /> songs in English, Fijian and Spanish and each student had a <br /> speaking part. All 4th and 5th graders have the opportunity to learn <br /> songs before school and participate in the singing at the Carrboro <br /> Town Hall Tree Lighting event. <br /> In art class, students use paint, drawing materials, clay, fibers, and <br /> mixed media and study both artists and types of art. In our extra- <br /> curricular theater program, 4th and 5th graders have created and <br /> produced full-length theatrical productions for the past nine years, <br /> including "The Little Mermaid" in 2017, an original production in 2018 <br /> called "A Night of Grimm and Other Fairy Tales," and in 2019 "Mary <br /> Poppins" involving 145 student participants. The school community <br /> and PTA provide impressive support every year, giving close to <br /> $2,400 in donations and services toward the production in 2019. <br /> Furthermore, our art/theater teacher runs a 24-hour play festival for <br /> 5th graders and a popular musical theater camp for 4 weeks during <br /> the summer. <br /> Arts programming at CES enjoys broad support from the <br /> administration, staff, families, and the PTA. The PTA works to ensure <br /> that arts programming is funded; in 2017 they donated half of the <br /> cost for new theater lights. PTA volunteers coordinate the school's <br /> cultural arts performances and the Reflections Cultural Arts Contest. <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 566001004 <br /> Organization http://ces.chccs.kl2.nc.us <br /> Website <br /> Authorizing Official's Ms. Jillian LaSerna <br /> Name <br /> Authorizing Official's Principal <br />
