Santa Ana Hi <br />l7 rhetlzrl Joseph I{aye, Orchestra Director <br />Thursday, April 26, 2018 <br />Joseph Kaye <br />520 W. Walnut St. <br />Santa Ana, Ca 92701 <br />To Whom It May Concern, <br />School Orchestra <br />Jeff Bishop, Principal <br />On behalf of Santa Ana High School and the SanArts Conservatory, we are wholeheartedly willing to <br />lend our support in UC Irvine (UCI)'s grant proposal for the City of Santa Ana — Investing in the Artist <br />Grant Opportunity — Arts Organizations. <br />Here at Santa Ana High School, it is our belief that music and music activities are important parts of the <br />educational program of our schools. We believe that desirable co -curricular music activities should be <br />provided to supplement and enrich the regular classroom activities. Through the current partnership with <br />UCI's Claire Trevor School of the Arts (CTSA), our students have had the unique opportunity to <br />participate in open rehearsals, campus tours, collaborative rehearsals, master classes, and concerts. <br />Overall goals of the partnership are to: <br />1. To cultivate engaged young artists who will become engaged citizens in their communities <br />2. To build awareness of the university experience making it a tangible goal for all teens <br />3. To increase access to the arts resources available at CTSA <br />Once a year, our partnership with the UCI truly comes to realization as select students from our music <br />program will perform side-by-side with the UCI Symphony Orchestra members in a combination concert. <br />This is a great way for the community to see the engaging work come to life and how it has influenced <br />students and families. But the hard work really does go beyond just the manifestation of a side-by-side <br />concert — these students and families will gain invaluable learning experiences that will last a lifetime. <br />Unequivocally we are in complete support of UCI's grant proposal and if accepted we look forward <br />expanding this long lasting partnership with more enriching opportunities for our students and families. <br />Thank you for your consideration, <br />Joseph Kaye <br />Director of Orchestras <br />Santa Ana Fligh School <br />joseph.kaye@sausd.us <br />Office: 714-567-4996 <br />Fax: 714-567-4998 <br />Celli 760-554-5231 <br />
