Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 88% strongly agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 85% strongly agreed that they would attend a similar event. Comments: My kids really enjoyed the performance and I enjoyed the lesson in it. The performers are always so enthusiastic and they really interact well with the children.
