InsideOut Literary Arts Project Summer Report, 2010

Thanks to Sherry Ulery, Deputy Chief of Academic Affairs for Detroit Public Schools, InsideOut received an invitation to provide children with literary arts enrichment in the following 10 schools. We are grateful to the following schools and their writers who participated: Bagley Elementary (Sara Williams); Bennett Elementary (Blair; Nandi Comer); Bow Elementary (Rachel Harkai; Rhonda Welsh); Clippert Academy (Beth Divis; Ami Mattison); Edison Elementary (George Ramos); Gardner Elementary (Lara Hamza); Golightly Elementary (Stephan Johnson); Hanstein Elementary (Anna West); Logan Elementary (Norene Smith); and Mann Elementary (Sherina Sharpe). The classes met daily from 12:30 to 2 p.m for six weeks and feedback from teachers, principals and parents has been very positive. Scheherazade Parrish also conducted summer programming for InsideOut at the Matrix Human Services Center in Northeast Detroit through the Skillman-funded Osborn Arts Collaborative led by College for Creative Studies.
