31. Experience Brainstorming:
The experience is a key element, if not the key element, to the long
range success of this project. Human interaction, and connection is
an integral part of our mission statement.
Initial Concept List - Short, Mid, and Long Term
List Distilled Down to 5 Categories
Categories Imagined in Context of Thematic Framework

32. Experience Brainstorming:
Best Practices
Studying best practices of programs like those that we look to bring to
the district will ensure the creation of a programs that have been proven
successful and may offer with potential resources for replication in our
District.
As we researched, we judged the viability of these initiatives as they
may apply to the District.

33. Experience Categories
Prioritizing:
• Street Fairs/ Art Festivals
• Music/Dance/Celebration
• Awareness Vehicles
• Health/Wellbeing
• Enterprise/Internship

34. Street Festivals / Art Events:
Neighborhood festivals and events provide an opportunity for commu-
nities to come together in the spirit of celebration. While these events
promote positive community relations and generate economic impact
to the local hosting community, they also offer an opportunity to learn
about the diversity of people and cultures

With the popularity of music and dance (especially dance) in our current
culture, these activities are proving to be a vital force in uniting people
and sparking our interest. Shows like American Idol, America’s Got Tal-
ent, So You Think You Can Dance, America’s Best Dance Crew, etc.
have captured our collective imaginations, and are providing a vehicle
for uniting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The same
holds true for Community Arts and Heritage festivals. It’s about sharing
culture and making human connections.

40. Awareness Vehicles:
Mentoring, Apprenticeships, and Social Programs
This category of our investigation involves empower-
ment, training, and elevating and enriching the lives of our

Nettlehorst School - Chicago:
Since 1892, our red brick building in East Lakeview has been one of the
finest public elementary schools in Chicago. Today, we are a CPS Mag-
net Cluster School and one of the first CPS Community Schools in Chi-
cago.
We offer a broad-based education, emphasizing learning, creativity,
personal growth, and appreciation for other cultures. Children from pre-
kindergarten through eighth grade learn in a stimulating, vibrant and se-
cure environment—with enrichment opportunities among the finest in
the city.

42. Awareness Vehicles:
Nettelhorst has established itself as a success story in the public edu-
cation system, pioneering and rolling out programs for students and
community alike. To sustain and supercharge this momentum, the
school has established long-term visions and goals for each and ev-
ery discipline, and will create partnerships with organizations that share
in the promise and power of these visions and their positive impact on
both children and adults.

43. Health & Wellness:
Well being - more than just good health, wellbeing describes a state of
wellness of body, mind and soul, where all are in a state of health, the
individual is happy and prospering. Wellbeing is not available by pre-
scription; there is no one path and many different roads can be taken to
arrive there...

Each of our 5 categories contributes to the goals of our mission state-
ment of creating quality of life experiences through :
Pride, Communication, Ownership,Enrichment,Empowerment, Health &
Wellbeing, Entrepreneurship, and Skill Development
Our next step will be to connect each team member with an authority in
their category for in depth research and advice in how to enable these
concepts to become feasible and viable components of our overall plan.
We will also be working collaboratively with our other teams to see how
these experiences best fit into the framework that has been proposed
here today....
