Partner+Grant


 * PARTNER GRANT**

A special debt of gratitude goes to Heidi Baldt, from Gateway to the Arts, who successfully scheduled //A Vocal Journey with Etta Cox// for Washington Park School's third, fourth, and fifth grade students on Monday, May 11, at 9:30 to supplement my Unit on African-American Music. Etta, along with the Al Dowe Quintet (keyboard, saxophone, drums, trombone, and bass guitar), performed call and response songs, spirituals, blues, jazz, gospel, Motown, and even rap with my students. The program was enjoyed by the staff and the students, alike. It was a wonderful culminating activity to my African-American Unit. Thank you, again, to Heidi for arranging the program, to Mrs. Tracey Gilpin for sharing her grant, and to Dr. Mara Linaberger for giving us the opportunity to have this phenomenol program at our school.
