Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project students will show an emotional reaction to performing for an audience, students will gain skills and knowledge of music, dancing and song games and share those talents with the community. Evaluation will occur with a written or verbal questionnaire with students, teachers, and the artist, through a follow up with the project planners and audience count, and also with the emotional reaction of students to being performers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Parents, grandparents and community filled the gymnasium to attend the show. Audience talked about how much they enjoyed the production and how important it was for students to have this artistic experience. Ross Sutter is the glue that brings the pioneer magic to our school. Students and parents also had the opportunity to build lumberjack musical instruments that were used in the performance. This project was completed after school hours and provided a family time opportunity.
