Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Lower student fees attract more students and teachers to participate. A barrier to our Festival is cost of venue. This grant allows us to hold our event at a suitable location. Data collection - track participants, volunteers, and audience members.
Measurable Outcome(s)
1) Kept student fees at a reasonable $25 per student and 2) hold our Festival at a very suitable location. 3 teachers joined this year. In 2013 Rochester was the 8th largest Festival site out of 30 in the State. In 2017 we were 6th largest out of 30.
