Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Students are starving for more access to cultural diversity in the arts. If we did not do a student presentation of our fall play and spring musical, most of our students would never see a play or exposure to a variety of musical instruments. We will track data on how quickly the workshop fills up, interest by those who cannot attend, and requests to host similar workshops in the future.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Students and staff were excited to learn about another country's music and culture. They were gracious hosts and enthusiastic learnings. They all want to visit South America and now have some knowledge of the area and its people before the Olympics this summer.
