Spirit Stories Advanced Project

Assignment: Collaborate with the Spirit of 67 to create a video short that tells the impact story of how their grants have helped support the students and teachers in the district.

Due: One 2 minute video that could help tell the story of their impact

Goal: Editing together a narrative that makes the audience connect with the mission of the Spirit of 67. Using music and natural sound together is essential to telling a compelling story.

• (Deerpath Drama Grades 5-6) for Theatre Rear Projection System and Auditorium Audio Replacement system (two rather large grants that will make a huge impact on all of the Fine Arts / Music programming as well as community-wide events and gatherings.
• Reading and Writing Institute Professional Development - Susan may be able to provide you with the names of staff members who actually participated in this training over the summer.
• Visiting Science Program - this is a new program, the grant was written by parents at Cherokee and when the other elementary buildings learned about it they wanted to be included
• DPM Sport Court - James Swartout (his mother is Eileen Swartout) was the student leader who initiated this grant and is entering LFHS as a freshman this fall
• Cherokee Inspiration Zone
• Fine Arts Enrichment and Visiting Author Programs - We also have a long standing tradition of providing grants through the APT (Association of Parents and Teachers) that fund programs they implement. These are usually all school assembly type events although sometimes the visiting authors also do smaller classroom visits as well. If you are interested, I can get a schedule of this year’s programs.
