Tomorrow's election is an important one for Arizona. If you haven't already voted by mail, remember
to come out and vote YES on Proposition 100 tomorrow.

Proposition 100 proposes a 1% increase in the Arizona state sales tax. Two-thirds of the revenues
generated would fund K-12 education and the other one-third would fund health and human services and
public safety. The sales tax would automatically repeal on May 31, 2013.

Help protect Arizona education, health, and public safety by voting YES on 100 tomorrow!

Success Stories

Success stories! We know you have one, if not more!

Arizona's afterschool providers are doing fabulous work and having an incredible impact working with our
children at all grade levels and in all types of programs around the state. As you all know, there is no
"one size fits all" in afterschool programs. Children are all different! Their needs are different! And hence
a range of out-of-school time programs......art, music, literacy, character development, service learning,
sports, homework, mentoring, etc. ..... are needed to meet the needs of Arizona's children and families.

Parents, educators and policymakers are all taking notice of the impact that quality afterschool programs
have on the children involved. But we're not content to wait for you and your program and its many
successes to be discovered. We want to highlight them! In fact, we recently had both a local television
and radio station reach out to us expressing their interest in covering the "faces, voices and stories of
afterschool". Yes, your story could be featured on tomorrow night's news.

Don't take your good work and its success for granted! Please call or email the Arizona Center for
Afterschool Excellence regarding your summer plans, a student's success or a family's need. Share the
story of a staff member that goes above and beyond in inspiring children to believe in themselves and be
the best they can be. Share a story, poem or video that your students have done. The possibilities are
endless. Please share your story and even video clips with us that we can both share with the media
and feature in a new section of our website.

Send your success stories to mmcclintock@azafterschool.org or share them by phone at 602.496.3307.

Arizona ArtSpace Afterschool Program Shows Increased Academic Performance
for Students
A grant-funded arts education initiative coordinated by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture is showing
impressive results after just one year.

The artSpace after-school program was made available to more than 1,000 students at 39 area schools
last school year. A study of the program showed that 80 percent of the students enrolled in the program
increased their academic performance, 87 percent increased their benchmark scores in reading and 81
percent increased their benchmark scores in math.

The program is funded by the Arizona Department of Education's 21st Century Community Learning
Centers Division. In addition to Phoeinx, other partners are Arizona State University's Herberger institute
of Design and the Arts and Arizona State Library.

The program continues this year in 11 school districts and two charter schools. Participating students are
engaged in visual arts, music, filmmaking, dance, theatre, architecture, landscape architecture, design
and sustainability projects.

Engaging Older Youth: Program and City Level Strategies to Support Sustained
participation in Out-of-School Time
Public/Private Ventures, the Wallace Foundation, and the Harvard Family Research Project conducted a
study of almost 200 out-of-school-time programs in six cities to better understand how they promote
sustained participation among older youth.
The resulting data indicated that two of the most important practices distinguishing high-retention
programs were: 1) ample leadership opportunities for youth and, 2) high levels of staff efforts to keep
informed about participants' lives outside the programs.

The study also compares and contrasts effective practices for middle school- versus high school-aged
youth, noting the shortcomings of "one-size-fits-all" strategies. Finally, Engaging Older Youth details the
influence of city-level OST initiatives on programs and identifies the types of city-level services that likely
support participation.
