ANNUAL REPORT
2018 – 2019

ENCHANTED CIRCLE
CHANGES LIVES
We are dedicated to engaging, enhancing, and inspiring learning
through the ARTS. Founded in 1976, we partner with schools and
community organizations to provide equal access to arts inspired learning for
people of all ages and abilities. Our work fosters creative and critical thinking and
bridges arts, education, and human services in many of the most underserved
and marginalized sectors of Massachusetts.

ARTS INTEGRATION
IN THE CLASSROOM
ENCHANTED CIRCLE works directly in the classroom with students and
teachers, integrating the arts into all aspects of learning. Programs range
from eight days to year-long residencies, where students create original
works linked to math, science, social studies, and English language arts.

SPOTLIGHT: ARTS INTEGRATED MATH
In 2019, we worked with Kindergarten, 1 st and 2 nd grade classrooms in
three Holyoke schools, focusing on Arts Integrated Math. AIM is designed
to enhance a student’s ability to understand, conceptualize, explain, and
retain mathematical concepts and standard practices while developing
creative thinking skills. Students learned through theater, dance, and
visual arts to act out stories to define sequential order, form geometric
shapes with their bodies to demonstrate the attributes of the shape,
and produce art to represent repetition and reflection.

CREATIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Our creative youth development programs equip youth with the skills they need to reach their
full potential. Through culturally relevant programming, we provide a platform for youth to
develop trust, artistic expression, empathy, and a passion to create essential
connections in their lives and their communities.
REAL LIFE WRITING: POETRY INTO PERFORMANCE enables youth in the juvenile justice system to be seen and heard,
with opportunities to create and present something meaningful to them. The young women, ages 14–18, living in a
residential treatment program, develop skills to productively express their ideas and experiences, along with the belief
in themselves, to help navigate the transition into adulthood.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS: RFK South Hadley Girls Program, Commonwealth Corporation,
Collaborative for Educational Services, and the MA Department of Youth Services.
YOUTH TRUTH PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLE, now in its 9 th year, provides theater training for youth who have experienced
foster care. YOUTH TRUTH promotes healing and personal growth through creativity and community. Our youth are arts
advocates for change in the foster care system – and in their lives!
COMMUNITY PARTNERS: The Treehouse Foundation & the HEROES YOUTH Leadership Project,
MA Department of Children and Families, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Just because I am Black
Doesn’t mean I’m ghetto
Doesn’t mean I’ll be a teen mom
Doesn’t mean I’ll be in a gang
Doesn’t mean I’ll drop out
I am smart with a place to soar
In my days to come
– YOUTH TRUTH, 2019

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Enchanted Circle is well known for our unique community partnerships
that integrate literacy, history, the environment, civics, sociology or
anything with the arts to meet a community’s evolving needs.
Have an idea for a community collaboration?

SPOTLIGHT: NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT LEARNING LAB (NELL)
In 2018–2019, Enchanted Circle, in partnership with Springfield–based
Home City Development Inc., created a multifaceted arts integrated
literacy program designed to support families in addressing their
community’s educational challenges, and to train youth leaders to
recognize the power of their voice within the community.
For the culminating project of the Learning Lab, Enchanted Circle
teaching artist Gabriela Micchia worked with residents and staff at the
Liberty Hill Townhouses in Springfield to create a community mural
now on display by the Liberty Street bus stop.
“As soon as the event ended everybody was talking and laughing
with each other. Everyone was cool. Everyone was bonding so it
was really cool. It was really nice.”

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our professional development programs provide exceptional training for PreK–12 teachers in hands–on, practical,
arts integration methods for engaging students in academic learning and social emotional curriculum. In 2018–19
we formed an exciting new partnership with Mount Holyoke College’s Professional and Graduate Education program.
Together we are launching Enchanted Circle’s INSTITUTE FOR ARTS INTEGRATION at Mount Holyoke College.
The INSTITUTE FOR ARTS INTEGRATION (IAI) is a dynamic center for innovative learning,
teaching, and research that utilizes the arts as a compelling and interdisciplinary teaching
tool. IAI will provide a wide range of professional development opportunities for classroom
teachers, special educators, administrators, teaching artists, social workers, community
leaders, parents, and social activists.
“I now understand why we should incorporate the arts, and how I can do it every day. We were actively
participating, thinking, inventing, and creating connections to our curriculum units together as a group.
I am taking back powerful learning ideas and activities that I will use in my classroom tomorrow!”

NOTE FROM OUR LEADERS
Dear Friends,
We are proud to share this year’s annual report with you, a view into
the extraordinary world of Enchanted Circle and our award-winning
arts in education programs.
Celebrating 44 years of engaging, enhancing, and inspiring learning
through the arts, we have earned the reputation as a turn–around
agent in our region’s most challenged districts. We have a proven
history of excellence, rigor, and community commitment, and we
hold ourselves to the highest academic and artistic standards. Our
partnerships are built on an unwavering commitment to equity,
inclusion, and socially-just practices.
In the 2018–19 school year, we targeted our three most strategic
imperatives to ensure the greatest impact on our community:
• Equal access to arts integrated learning during the school day
to help give children the skills they need to succeed.
• A platform for creative expression and community connection
for youth to build a solid sense of identity and purpose as they
transition into adulthood.
• Training educators in culturally resonant, creative engagement methods, expanding their reach, and building a network of
teacher supports.
The story of our organizational growth is palpable and visible, and intentional. With our generous community of donors, we
have taken a developmental leap towards a sustainable future.
We believe in the power of arts in education to change lives – creating an equitable playing field for all children, giving voice
to our youth, providing support for our teachers, and illuminating the creative potential in all of us.
Thank you for your support.

IMPACT STATEMENT
New research out of the Brookings Institute (2019) “provides strong evidence that arts educational experiences produce
significant positive impact on academic and social development.” Our experience at Enchanted Circle parallels national
findings: Arts integration improves academic achievement, attendance, attitudes, critical and creative thinking, effort,
empathy, and engagement. And that’s just from A–E.

C.F. ADAMS CHALLENGE GROWTH
In 2019, Enchanted Circle received a first-time grant from the C.F. Adams Charitable Trust, a
notable Boston-based foundation that is committed to improving children’s behavior health
in Massachusetts. They saw such value in the therapeutic aspect of our education work with
children in trauma, and such potential in our organization that they followed their capacity
support with an additional matching challenge grant of $10,000. Buoyed with their vote of
confidence and supported by our generous donors, we met and exceeded their challenge!
