7th Annual Mayday Cake Bake and 3rd Annual Art Farm
SOOTS - Sustaining Roots Music Community Project
At 2:45 PM on Friday, May 18th at Raleigh Charter High School, SOOTS will host its 7th Annual
Mayday Cake Bake. For only $6, attendees will receive two generously sized portions of cake as
well as almost as much milk as they can drink. Following the sweet-filled festivities, SOOTS' 3rd
Annual Art Farm will take place from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM. The event will feature all forms
of Raleigh Charter artwork: art displays, musical performances, and-for the first time-poetry
recitations-all featuring current and former RCHS students. Most importantly, attendance at
Art Farm is free of charge. Don't miss out on this chance to see what members of the Raleigh
Charter community are creating outside the classroom.
Tickets for Cake Bake will be sold in the Atrium while still available. If you are interested in displaying or selling your art at Art Farm, contact Charles Montague.

Ironin Board Sam from steadyfilm on Vimeo. On November 5th, SOOTS collaborated with the Center for the Study of the American South and the Music Maker Relief Foundation to put on a free concert on UNC-Chapel Hill's campus.
SOOTS raised over $270 in donations and merchandise sales. For SOOTS' student leaders, this event was the culmination of a day of folk life studies at UNC, which included a visit to the American Studies' Archives and a panel discussion with folklorists, ethnographers, and musicians moderated by former SOOTS student and current UNC senior Danny Nowell.
The day concluded with an RCHS reunion of sorts as over 175 guests, many of whom are RCHS alums & current UNC students, enjoyed the musical talents of Lightnin' Wells, Boo Hanks and New Orleans keyboard artist Ironin' Board Sam Moore.
Thank you for supporting SOOTS, the Center for Study of the American South, MMRF and the rich heritage that inspires us all.

$570 Raised to Help George Higgs Breathe a little easier-Thank You RCHS!
Sustaining Roots Music Community Project (SOOTS) www.sootsblues.org
SOOTS is pleased to announce that the RCHS community has exceeded our goal of raising $500 for Piedmont Bluesman George Higgs. Recently, financial hardships have forced Mr. Higgs, who suffers from reduced lung capacity, to choose to use less oxygen nightly in order to save money. This means George is losing that for which he is best known - the ability to play his harmonica in a style that is unique and treasured Down East.
With this Fall 2010 Medical Mini-grant George can buy enough oxygen to keep him playing the instrument that he loves. Thank you RCHS for stepping up and preserving roots music and sustaining the artists who create it.
As an encore - enjoy this streaming photo essay of SOOTS' work with Higgs. We can only do such great work because of your great support.

RCHS in the WRAL News
News
On October 29, 2009, WRAL aired a short story about Raleigh Charter High School as part of their Project Education series.
Renee Chou wanted to investigate why RCHS was ranked in national magazines. For your information, US News and World Report publishes high-school rankings each December and Newsweek publishes rankings each May.
These annual rankings are nice, and they tell one little part of our story. We feel that the high-school experience, however, is much more complex than these rankings represent.
