Artist Description The MES PTA Cultural Arts Committee collaborated with school <br />administrators, teachers, and MES PTA colleagues and identified that <br />the poetry residency with Mr. Shabazz for our 5 grade students will <br />continue to benefit our school community, as well as prov ide the <br />flexibility for any new restrictions or limitations that may arise as a <br />result of future cov id wav es. Mr. Shabazz's work is engaging and <br />easily adjustable to a v irtual env ironment if necessary. His methods <br />succeed in showing students how to use poetry as a tool of learning <br />and communication. His teaching style is fun and direct, and at MES, <br />we all believ e this cultural program will <br />hav e the highest impact to our students. <br />Are you hiring <br />multicultural artists <br />with the requested <br />funds from this <br />grant? <br />Yes <br />For each multicultural <br />artist you intend to <br />hire, please list their <br />name, race, and how <br />much you plan to pay <br />them. <br />Mr. Phillip Shabazz, Black, $1,600. <br />How will the <br />project/program be <br />publicized and <br />promoted to reach <br />intended <br />participants? <br />The program will be publicized and promoted within the fifth grade <br />classrooms and with the parents of fifth graders.
