We worked in schools, domestic violence shelters, child care centers, and served primarily urban and impoverished communities. We supported PreK-6 to high school, and families who would otherwise not have access to the arts or literacy programs. We developed a new curriculum that brought historical and factual community history to light that would have otherwise been lost with aging elders. Our 16-week residencies continue to be heralded by teachers and parents alike, improving writing and comprehension skills as well as confidence on stage and off. Children continue to showcase candor, insight and creativity. The stories participants imagine, write and develop are imaginative and preserve the meaning of togetherness, illustrating the power of ones voice. An arts-based literacy education is imperative in a childs development. Our greatest challenge continues to be securing funding to meet the demand, especially as education, arts and community funding cuts continue. 26334 0 3355 Our Old MacDonald mental health puppet tours continued to help PreK-2 and their families talk about mental health and neurodiversity disorders. We served 1,118 children and 367 adults. Student struggles in the classroom, at home and in their community are not unique to one demographic. Most communities have encountered and documented these experiences000. We cannot simply ignore the mental health crisis that has only grown. Our puppet shows, based on consultations with licensed psychologists and statistically increasing disorders, help children understand that you are okay just as you are and can talk about whatever youre feeling. Across the state, community centers, schools and childcare centers experienced the positive and lasting impact of this programming. 2947 0 3200 Our outreach program continues to develop and offer professional development that is used by PrK-6 schools, high schools, national colleges, and school districts around arts-based critical literacy fundamentals and methodology. We use artistry, fun and joy to improve student and community success at every age. We are purposely rooted in story, storytelling and story-making, and driven by communities to foster connections, and find solutions that celebrate everyone. 334195 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false MN X X X The Organization 6125040523 2105 26th Avenue South Minneapolis MN 55406 X Raegan Henderson President 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Emily Asp Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Laura Mann Hill Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Farhiya Del Board member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sonja Kuftinec Board member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sandra Agustim Board member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Lacy Board member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Zipes Board member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sonja Baute Board member 3.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 222065 117618 339683 School and community residencies 711190 113749 0 0 Professional development 611430 3355 0 0 Performance 711170 3200 0 0 120304 506 0 506 460493 120304 0 506 59075 14769 32491 11815 4700 1850 2850 0 11835 11835 273954 248281 17180 8493 7264 6210 1054 0 830 0 791 39 24309 8905 1384 14020 1532 1532 0 0 1465 1220 0 245 200 200 0 0 344 344 0 0 Partners 42350 42350 0 0 Program supplies 3699 3699 0 0 Community outreach 1036 1036 0 0 Fees and other 4035 3799 109 127 436628 334195 55859 46574 35792 14909 7551 316693 132313 1000 200 800 360036 148022 20634 24522 300870 42000 18000 321504 84522 X 38532 48500 15000 38532 63500 360036 148022 23865 1103 X true false true false X 0 0 46294 62643 249019 186485 339683 884124 25364 80102 78217 63145 120034 366862 0 0 71658 142745 327236 249630 459717 1250986 0 0 0 1250986 69 1342 1322 506 3239 69 1342 1322 506 3239 1254225 0.99740 0.00260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1000 200 800 800 Pt VI, Line 11b The board meets and approves the 990 before the return is filed by an independent CPA Pt VI, Line 12c Our conflict of interest statement is required to be signed on an annual basis and records are kept.
