OPPORTUNITY: 090222/Arts and Engagement/Duke Students Work in Carter Community Charter Schooln

Hello:

You are being contacted in connection with a special project at Duke called
Arts and Engagement. This project provides for Duke students to work in
Carter Community Charter School (which is very close to the Duke campus) for
six weeks this spring providing an arts experience for a group of 4th
through 7th grade students. Your course with Pedro Lasch will integrate
this work into your classroom experience and expectations.

This is an all African American student population. The school is a public
charter school, and has no music or arts classes in their day-to-day
classes, making this work especially important for them.

The classes will basically meet twice weekly for six weeks, with a
culminating event the final week. All work is complete before Duke classes
end this semester.

In order to be involved, you DO NOT need to be available for all sessions.
You DO need to attend an orientation session this Sunday, to understand the
project fully. The attached schedule will outline the specific dates and
times for the work. You can return this form to me, or just let me know
you'll be there Sunday, and we'll figure out the schedule then. If you want
to take part, but can't make the Sunday date, contact me and we'll figure
out a back-up plan.

I hope you will consider taking part in this fun and important work. It will
be a great experience to be involved with these young folks!

Orientation Meeting is Sunday, in Rm 105 in Carr 106 (East Campus, Duke) from 1:00-3:00 p.m.
