(in boxes), 67 lin. feet Collection 3025 Abstract The White-Williams Scholars serves needy and talented students in the Philadelphia schools. It is one of the oldest charitable organizations in the country, founded in 1800 as the Magdalen Society of Philadelphia (Magdalen Society of Philadelphia Records are maintained separately as Collection 2016). The organization shifted its focus in 1917 from rehabilitation to prevention of delinquency. It provided counseling in the schools, and training for counselors, as well as financial assistance. Eventually, the school district took over the responsibility for counseling. In 1918, the organization changed its name to the White-Williams Foundation to honor two of the original founders, Bishop William White and George Williams. The name changed again in 1994 to White-Williams Scholars, as it is known today, to recognize the current mission of supporting high- achieving secondary school students with weekly stipends. The collection includes administrative and financial records. There are volumes of Board of Trustees and Annual Meeting minutes and reports covering the period 1917 to 1960, as well as a set of scholarship accounting ledgers from 1924 to 1982.

We seek to use research as the basis for the improvement of educational opportunities and outcomes for traditionally underserved students.

  • INTERNATIONAL BALLET EXCHANGE Annual Report 2019
    INTERNATIONAL BALLET EXCHANGE Annual Report 2019 (Fiscal Year July 1, 2018–June 30, 2019) 38 East Schoolhouse Lane Philadelphia, PA 19144 215.849.7950 (phone) 215.849.3117 (fax) [email protected] www.internationalballet.org MISSION Established in 1998, IBE has an overarching mission: to bring high-quality classical ballet education to students from diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds; to foster valuable artistic and life skills, international understanding, and aesthetic awareness; and to make the understanding and appreciation of ballet accessible to all segments of society. HISTORY International Ballet Exchange (IBE) began as a partnership between Wissahickon Dance Academy (WDA) in Philadelphia and the Pisarev Choreography School in Donetsk, Ukraine. Since its inception, teachers from the Pisarev School have been invited to teach at WDA. In 1993, 1995, and 2007, WDA students had the opportunity to participate in special intensive ballet programs in Donetsk. In 2013, a group of WDA students participated in a two-week intensive with the National Ballet of Cuba, in Havana, Cuba. IBE’s presence in the Philadelphia public schools began in 1999 with a pilot in-school program at Simon Gratz High School in North Philadelphia. With the full support of school administrators, 25 students received ballet training with a ballet master from the Donetsk Ballet of Ukraine and then had the rare experience of performing with the Donetsk Ballet in a free community performance of Peer Gynt. Since 2000, IBE has provided ballet residencies at 12 Philadelphia public schools (current residency sites are in bold): Simon Gratz High School (1999–2010), University City High School (2000–2001), Kenderton Elementary School (2001–2003), Philadelphia High School for Girls (2002–2004), Northeast High School (2004–2006; 2016–2019), Anna B.
