Adam Schnell 2135 Windward Way #209 Vero Beach, FL 32963 infoCa)balletverobeach.org (772) 269-1065 Stage to Page: Literacy Leaps To Life Through Dance And The Arts Quality Remediation and Enrichment Programs Stage To Page: Literacy Leaps To Life Through Dance And The Arts will continue to revamp our Student Matinee Series. Continuing our work with The Learning Alliance, a nationally recognized literacy services organization, we will continue to refine the scope and efficacy of our 1st Grade Student Matinee (The Sleeping Princess) and 3rd Grade Student Matinee (Firebird), while preparing to launch our 4th Grade Student Matinee (The Four Seasons) in the following season. Stage to Page is free (with transportation/bus scholarships available), and in addition to attending a full-scale performance, each school we serve must participate in on campus arts literacy/arts integration workshops with our artists. These engagement workshops are four-part opportunities to strengthen the marriage between literacy and the arts for teachers and students. The goal of Stage to Page is two -fold. First, Stage to Page is a product of The Learning Alliance and the School District of Indian River County's goal to have 90% of students in Indian River County reading on grade level by the end of 3rd grade. Second, Stage to Page reflects Ballet Vero Beach's vision of a future where arts organizations work alongside social service nonprofits to combat complex social and economic issues; in this case, early literacy. Stage to Page not only gives arts exposure to both students and teachers in Indian River County, it provides the tools of arts integration and arts literacy, which can be used across multiple disciplines by both populations. Funds from this grant will be used to support program staff salaries, training, and curriculum development associated with the refining and expansion of the Stage to Page program.
