Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) Lower student fees and lower teacher dues allows more students and teachers to participate in the Festival. 2) A barrier to our Festival is cost of an appropriate venue. Data collection: we will track participants, volunteers, audience members, and numbers of events in which students participate.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Student fees and teacher dues are lower than other similar opportunities for students. 7 new teachers joined this year; 64 new student participants; 5 different events. Thanks to this grant, we are able to hold our Festival in an excellent venue.
