Frank Porter Graham Elementary School needs online votes to win a grant to help fund the school’s Arts in Action program.
The school is competing for one of the Power a Bright Future grants, which are sponsored by the Clorox Company. The top prize is $50,000, followed by three grants of $20,000 each. For the 18-week program, Arts in Action dance instructors from the National Dance Institute of New York visit the school and teach fourth-graders high-energy dance routines focusing on a specific theme. For this year’s theme, North Carolina, students will learn dances focusing on pirates, first in flight, the Cherokee nation, mountain culture and NCAA basketball.
