Barton Elementary Selected to Participate in President’S Arts Program Attn: Education Desk and Entertainment Desk June 2, 2014 No. 94 BARTON ELEMENTARY SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN PRESIDENT’S ARTS PROGRAM San Bernardino City Unified’s Barton Elementary School is one of only ten schools in California selected to participate in the Turnaround Arts: California program, which is an affiliate of the national Turnaround Arts initiative, aimed at improving underperforming schools through art, music, and dance. The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, an advisory committee to the White House, began the Turnaround Arts program in 2012 as a way to trigger academic improvement, narrow the achievement gap, and increase student engagement. The newly expanded program is funded through a public-private partnership, providing over $5 million over the next three years from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Endowment of the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and other private foundations and companies, to bring arts education into low-performing schools. Program partners will provide an additional $12 million, and the money will be used to hire new art and music teachers, bring teaching artists, art supplies, and musical instruments into schools and support arts integration in other core subjects such as reading, math, and science. San Bernardino City Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Dale Marsden and Barton Elementary Principal Janice N. Gordon-Ellis traveled to Washington, D.C. last week to attend the May 20 Turnaround Arts launch hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama. Marsden welcomes the arts initiative as another way to help transform District schools. Page 1 of 2 “The arts are a critical element to ensure high engagement of our students in their education,” Marsden said. “Being selected for this national initiative signals a renewed hope, not only for this school but also for our District and our community. We could very well have the next Dizzy Gillespie or Carlos Santana sitting in a Barton classroom.” “Through Turnaround Arts: California we hope to expand our successes in and out of the classroom by adding more opportunities for our students, families, and teachers to learn through dance, art, drama, and music,” said Gordon-Ellis. “The arts are a proven way to boost student achievement, keep kids interested in school, and help schools connect with their communities. We are thrilled to have been chosen to participate in this cutting-edge program.” In addition to the funding, prominent artists have signed up to adopt each school and work closely with students. Among the volunteers who will work to support individual schools’ arts education curriculum are Elton John, Sarah Jessica Parker, Yo-Yo Ma, Jason Mraz, Forest Whitaker, Kerry Washington, Frank Gehry, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Marc Anthony, Tim Robbins, Chad Smith, and Russell Simmons. Rashida Jones, the daughter of musician Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton, will mentor Barton Elementary School students. Rashida Jones’ credits include Ann Perkins on Parks and Recreation, Karen Filippelli on The Office, and the CDE Executive in The Muppets movie. -mtgmtgmtg- Page 2 of 2.

  • FINAL SALUTE Each Year We Note the Passing of Influential Creators, Performers, and Institutions
    FINAL SALUTE Each year we note the passing of influential creators, performers, and institutions. These passings occurred between SoonerCon 28 and the original date for SoonerCon 29. American actress and singer Peggy Lipton passed away May 11, 2019. Her best-known acting role was as undercover cop Julie Barnes on The Mod Squad, 1968-1973. She won a new generation of fans when she ran the Double R Diner as Norma Jennings, in Twin Peaks. Doris Day was a big-band singer, TV and film actress, and talk-show host. She won several awards for comedy and popularity. She was also an activist for animal welfare, lending her star power to several organizations bearing her name. She died May 13, 2019. Domestic cat Tardar Sauce was better known as the meme she unwittingly founded: Grumpy Cat. Dwarfism contributed to her scowling face, which graced ads for Friskies and General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios. The frowning feline cashed in her lives on May 14, 2019. The career of the inspired Tim Conway began in 1962 and lasted through TV, movies, voice-overs, and video games. Among his noted appearances were the goofy Dorf; four years on McHale ‘s Navy; eleven years on The Carol Burnett Show; several solo TV shows; and as Barnacle Boy, 1999-2012, on SpongeBob SquarePants. Conway took his final bow on May 14, 2019. Born in China, I.M. Pei moved to America in 1935 and in 1948 became a professional architect. He designed the John F. Kennedy Library, which took until 1979 to complete. In 1962 he was selected by OKC’s Urban Renewal Authority to redesign our downtown.

  • The Mary Tyler Moore Show" 10 8
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page{s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in die adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right .in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • “We Can't Even Play Ourselves”: Mixed-Race Actresses in the Early
    “WE CAN’T EVEN PLAY OURSELVES”: MIXED-RACE ACTRESSES IN THE EARLY TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES AUGUST 2017 By Valerie M. Lo Dissertation Committee: Robert Perkinson, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Jonna Eagle Konrad Ng Jonathan Okamura Keywords: Mixed race, Ambiguity, Post-Racial, Color-blind, Film ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has been a test of my resiliency and grew from my desire to add a small contribution to the ongoing discussion of mixed race representations in film and television. Many people have come into my life in the last several years and encouraged my studies, talked excitedly with me, and subtly (or blatantly) pushed me to continue when I thought the road ahead looked too ominous. In 2005, at San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies banquet, my Master’s thesis chair, Wei Ming Dariotis, remarked that a PhD was in the stars for me. Those words stayed close to me during my graduate work at the University of Hawai'i. My first teaching assistantship with Isabelle Peluad at San Francisco State University in Asian American Literature showed me exactly what I wanted to immerse myself in for the rest of my life. Graduate courses with Russell Jeung and Madeline Hsu reaffirmed my desire to work within the field of Asian American Studies and continue on to a doctorate program. My coursework in American Studies was rigorous and pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.
