STUDENTS ASKED GREAT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVING, HANDLING CREDIT, WATCHING FOR CREDIT PITFALLS, AVOIDING PAYDAY LENDERS, AND INVESTING. WE ALSO SHARE WITH SCHOOL STAFF OUR CURRICULUM PACKET, WHICH PROVIDES THEM WITH BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOW ACTIVITIES TO FURTHER ENGAGE THE STUDENTS. THE CURRICULUM IS REVIEWED EACH SEMESTER, AND UPDATED REGULARLY, TO REFLECT ANY CHANGES TO THE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PERSONAL FINANCIAL EDUCATION CREATED BY THE COUNCIL FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION (CEE) AND THE JUMP$TART COALITION FOR PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY (JUMP$TART). THE MUSICIANS ARE ALSO CONSTANTLY REFINING THEIR MESSAGE, ITS DELIVERY, AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH THE STUDENTS BASED ON THEIR OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SHOWS AND THE FEEDBACK FROM THE STUDENTS AND SCHOOL STAFF. AFTER A SHOW, STUDENTS AND SCHOOL STAFF ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE A POST SHOW SURVEY. FOR SCHOOL STAFF, THEY WERE ASKED, ON A SCALE OF 1-10, THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE MUSICAL AND FINANCIAL LITERACY PORTIONS OF THE SHOW AS WELL AS IF THE SHOW MET THEIR EXPECTATIONS. THE AVERAGE FOR ALL THREE QUESTIONS IN 2023 WAS 9.017. IN TERMS OF THE STUDENT SURVEY, USING A SCALE OF 1-5, STUDENTS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTIONS AS THE SCHOOL STAFF, WHICH AVERAGED AROUND 4.21. ADDITIONALLY, STUDENTS WERE ASKED ABOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF FINANCIAL LITERACY BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOW. RESPONSES WERE 3.35 FOR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND JUMPED TO 4.22 AFTER THE SHOW. A FINAL QUESTION WAS HOW LIKELY THEY WERE TO TAKE AN ACTION STEP TO IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURE AND THE AVERAGE RESPONSE WAS 4.19. AS AN INCENTIVE FOR STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY, STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD FREE MUSIC FROM THE MUSICIAN. STUDENTS AND SCHOOL STAFF WERE ALSO DIRECTED TO OUR TOOLKIT PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AFTER COMPLETING THE SURVEYS. 367298 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X X ALISHA DAVID 3073164765 PO BOX 4302 CHEYENNE WY 820034302 DEREK D'ANGELO PRESIDENT 3.00 X X 0 0 0 MARGARET DIXON VICE PRESIDENT 3.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN PADEN TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 LYDIA HAMILTON SECRETARY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 COLLEEN SCHON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETHANY BLAIR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ILONA BOX DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELE DEHOFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY JAMES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIMIE YOON-LEE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY SAGE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAWN STARKS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BECCA WALLS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISHA DAVID EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 68640 0 0 68640 0 0 0 0 0 0 WARREN CARTER HULSEY 177 AVALON DRIVE KINGSTON SPRINGS TN 37082 MUSICIAN 141000 GOODING LLC 878 MATTHEW COURT KINGSTON SPRINGS TN 37082 MUSICIAN 123000 2 59474 19011 212208 290693 290693 0 0 0 68642 34320 10298 24024 65520 65520 10264 7638 788 1838 6095 6095 10 10 12400 6000 6400 3401 3401 4761 1587 1587 1587 854 854 MUSICIAN/CONCERT EXPENS 243000 243000 MUSICIAN/CONCERT MATERI 5874 5874 EQUIP RENTAL & MAINTENA 3000 3000 MARKETING EXPENSE 554 277 277 755 82 562 111 425130 367298 23595 34237 142190 18024 35000 0 177190 18024 29680 4951 29680 4951 X 128182 -2255 19328 15328 147510 13073 177190 18024 -134437 0 X 0 0 0 X 512795 281217 409837 493527 290693 1988069 512795 281217 409837 493527 290693 1988069 46683 1941386 1988069 0.97650 0.99430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B A COPY OF THE COMPLETED 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO BE REVIEWED PRIOR TO FILING.
