South Coastal Bank has awarded the Ross Elementary School PTO in Braintree a $500 grant from its South Coastal Bank C.A.R.E.S. community giving program.
South Coastal Bank specifically designed C.A.R.E.S. to help local not-for-profit groups promote and encourage a sense of Community, Achievement, Responsibility and Excellence in children through exposure to the arts.
The PTO applied C.A.R.E.S. funds toward a presentation of Young Audiences of Massachusetts' "Poetry in Motion." The participatory program is performed by actor David Zucker, who uses mime, comedy, props, costume pieces, masks, puppets and audience interaction to bring to life the best of English language poetic literature of such authors as A.A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, Langston Hughes and James Whitcomb Riley.
