Exhibit A <br /> Target Population and Unmet Needs <br /> Backhausdance's Dance for Kindness partnership program is targeted to Santa Ana children <br /> and youth who have been besieged by loss, economic hardship and dramatic change with <br /> distance learning during the time of our pandemic and its ripple effects. Physical education <br /> classes are not provided adequately during the school day, and participation in athletics and <br /> sports programs after school is an added financial expense that may cause a burden on <br /> families and limits youth who are able to fully participate. Regular fitness activity is essential <br /> for maintaining healthy body weight and preventing obesity. Dance for Kindness is designed to <br /> teach skills related to body, space, time and energy, bring joy and relief, to aid in the coping <br /> process, to relieve stress, and to learn the physicality and elements of creative movement. <br /> Backhausdance will work with SAUSD Special Projects in Wellness and Athletics and SAUSD <br /> Arts to identify elementary schools that have limited if no access to athletics/physical <br /> education classes and where there are students who are under extreme socio-emotional <br /> duress. <br /> Project Timeline and Deliverables <br /> Month(s) Deliverable <br /> July -August 2022 Planning, organization and school outreach <br /> August- September 2022 School partnership finalization, pre-assessment <br /> survey, lead planning workshop for teachers, <br /> scheduling, customization <br /> October- December 2022 Dance for Kindness workshop series and <br /> assemblies for SAUSD elementary school #1 <br /> December 2022 - January 2023 Evaluation and post-assessment, preparation <br /> of interim grant report <br /> February -April 2023 Dance for Kindness workshop series and <br /> assemblies for SAUSD elementary school #2 <br /> February 2023 Participation in SAUSD We Care Campaign <br /> March 2023 Dance for Kindness performance with students <br /> at annual Boca de Oro Festival <br /> April - May 2023 Evaluation and post-assessment, grant <br /> reporting; drafting of final grant report <br /> May- June 2023 Project review, debriefing, and completion of <br /> grant report <br /> Project Core Educational Values: Dance/Athletics/Physical Activity is... <br /> • Can be done by anyone of any ability <br /> • For everyone - is a natural activity and builds connections/community <br /> • Makes us healthier and stronger; relieves stress <br /> • Rigorous, requires effort to do it correctly and learn technique <br /> • Expressive and communicative <br /> City Council 26 — 97 5/3/2022 <br /> 21 <br />
