Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The performers have a commitment to honoring young children and furthering their education through interactive music, movement and fun. It will be educational as well as entertaining and fun for the children in our community to experience this program.  Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The presenter, M.C., was very outgoing and did a great job of involving the children. Even though the program was definitely geared to preschool through early elementary age children, the older kids were attentive and had fun too. Responses to the animal facts varied - some stated they learned great facts about animals while others said they really did not learn anything new. All ages enjoyed learning new dance moves and hula-hooping was a hit.

Source of Additional Funds

Mt. Lake partnered with several other Plum Creek System libraries to make this an affordable program.
