Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We anticipate more than 2,000 children, parents and community members will participate in the 10th anniversary event that will include more arts activities and artist exhibitions than in the past. Evaluation surveys from attendees will show a 90% satisfaction level for participation in the event. Evaluation surveys (online and paper) will be provided to all attendees, participating artists and school personnel. We will conduct an ongoing count as people enter the event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More than 2,300 attended (highest attendance ever). Many activity rooms were depleted of supplies in their entirety. Children patiently waited in lines to participate in certain popular activities. Feedback was extremely positive. 99% of participants were complimentary. Sponsorship has increased each year, adding to the credibility of the event.
