High School Ahead Academy Middle School Classroom Resources Recipient High School Ahead Academy Middle School (Houston, TX) for $25,000 to purchase new curtains for the cafetorium, lighting, digital theatre curriculum, and funding to take the students to see a live theatre show. The school is rather old, and lacks amenities that other newer or remodeled schools may have.

The second year of its theatre program, the school has made incredible strides with the students, but does not have enough resources to put on a production that showcases everything the students and teachers have worked hard for throughout the year. Every student is required to take theatre at this school, yet with limited resources and no budget, it is hard to supply all of which is required to continue to build the program.

This grant will enable the program, Express Yourself! , a year-long arts integration literacy project that collaborates theatre with ELA to improve literacy outcomes and support the arts on our campus. They will use readers curriculum, and performance to encourage students to not only enjoy reading, but immerse themselves in character study and development.

This will ultimately improve standardized test scores, social emotional learning, and culminate into a larger final production run entirely by the students. Royal Oaks School of the Arts Classroom Resources Recipient Royal Oaks School of the Arts (Kannapolis, NC) for $25,000 to purchase primarily sound equipment, along with set, costume and props.

The stage is connected to the gym and the "backstage space" is only wide enough for students to move from one side of the stage to the other without detection. All sets must be stationary. Lighting was not only minimal, it was aimed in the wrong direction.

And the sound system was inside a concrete closet and often lost connection. The performance club has between 75-100 students each year and that is the group that does the biggest productions. The school needed microphones, and other audio components, so students do not not need to frantically switch them out among the actors backstage.

The project also includes constructing platforms on casters in order to turn the set on the stage for shows. This would allow the illusion of a different setting. Finally, reusable props and costumes were needed for upcoming productions.

Previously, the set and costumes were mostly funded by the theatre teacher, but in order to have long term sustainability, funding from the school and grants is needed in order to have productions for the long term and increased volunteerism from parents and community members.
