Wish List
Everyday
Paul
Cuffee
School
faculty discover new opportunities to improve the academic
performance and physical well-being of our students. Usually
fulfilling these needs costs a little extra, an expense that our
annual operating budget doesn’t include. You can make a very big
difference, sometimes in a very small way, by funding or donating
any of the following:
"I would love to have funding to support
the travel and land expenses for a total immersion/professional
development trip for eight faculty and staff members to the
Dominican Republic, during February break."
Alicia Luzon, Parent
Engagement Coordinator
"A classroom computer would be great - a desktop computer or even a
laptop! Also music: international, jazz, anything to play in the
classroom."
Shivohn Garcia, 7th Grade Teacher
"My class could use some thick Crayola markers, and pastel or
different colored crayons. Books are always a welcome addition to
our classroom library as well." Donna Raymond, 2nd Grade Teacher
"I could really use some books on tape!"
Jennifer Bifulco, 3rd Grade
Teacher
"A new color printer for the art studio, and 18 disposable cameras
would be great!"
Michelle Carden, Lower School Art Specialist
"I would love a
subscription to Time For Kids, Sports Illustrated for Kids
and/or Ranger Rick."
Kelly Barr, 4th Grade Teacher
"I'd love some instrumental music CD's to use during quiet time in my
classroom." Sandy Leclerc, 3rd Grade Teacher
"We would love to add
The Napping House and Piggies, by Don and
Audrey Wood, to our classroom library."
Amy Hill, Kindergarten
Teacher
"I would LOVE to have books about Biomes and animal adaptations
appropriate for 3rd to 6th grade reading levels."
Edna Attias, 6th
Grade Teacher
"Hand-held CD or tape players would be great additions for our
literacy/humanities classrooms."
Leslie McCrea, Middle School Title 1
Teacher
"A DVD/VHS player for the middle school would be very useful."
Ariana
Wohl, Integrated Science Education Instructor
"Library volunteers, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoons at
the Lower School and Friday afternoons at the Middle School, would
be great."
Megan Southard, Library Specialist
"We would really appreciate donations to help fund the middle school
sports program: transportation, cleats for soccer and baseball,
uniforms, equipment."
Brent Fusaro, Middle School Physical Education
Instructor
Additional Wish List Items
Healthy
Snacks:
The school needs a surplus of healthy snacks for 432 students in
kindergarten through grade eight. Classrooms need daily servings
enough for 16 children. Kindergarten and middle school children are
growing so quickly that they often need snacks twice each day. Fresh
fruit in season like apples, bananas, grapes and oranges are always
appreciated. Dry goods in bulk, without nuts or peanuts, are
appreciated. Suggestions include: Cheese Its, Animal Crackers,
Graham Crackers, Cheese and Crackers, Rice Cakes, Popcorn, Pretzels,
Raisins, and Granola Bars. We choose not to serve cookies, cakes,
candies, brownies, chips, donuts or other sweets. If you would like
to donate snacks to our school, please contact Julia Karahalis at
jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org
or 453-2626 x 118.
Children's Picture Books on Tape: Listening to books on tape
is a great way for students to learn and enjoy reading while
developing auditory schools. Please contact Ann Hampson, Title 1
Reading Specialist at x120.
Digital Cameras and Canvas Chairs: Digital cameras and 20
canvas chairs or low folding chairs for nature studies outside are
welcome in both the lower and middle school.
Artist Books: Any artist books (Monet, Bearden, etc.) of any
kind of prints/posters are needed for our middle school art
program."
Microsoft Flight Simulator: "At the middle school we
could really use 20 copies of Microsoft Flight Simulator. They are
about $30 each." Allyn Copp, 8th Grade Advisor
Books: Anne Hampson, our Title 1 Reading teacher,
would greatly appreciate The Librarian of Basra by
Jeanette Winter, Please Bury Me in the Library by Patrick
Lewis, The Art of Reading by Dutton, and/or any books by Jan
Brett, but two titles in particular - Berlioz the Bear and
Town Mouse, Country Mouse.
Field Trip Funds
for the following:
$900 + the cost
of R/T bus transportation for 150 children to go to a special
theatre dance or musical.
$350 + the cost
of R/T bus transportation for 50 children to visit museums such as
Boston's Science Museum or Mystic Seaport.
Scholarship Funds
for the following:
Middle School
Soccer Program:
Mr. Fusaro coaches a middle school team, but we need
approximately $2,000 for uniforms, cleats and referee stipends.
Maybe there is a local corporation or business that would like to
sponsor the Paul Cuffee soccer team? If you can help fund this
exciting new program, or know someone else who may be interested,
please put them in touch with Mr. Fusaro at the middle school
at 401-453-2711.
Seal Watch:
Each year our second
grade students have a great opportunity to take the Save the Bay
Seal Watch tour in Newport. To help underwrite the cost, donations
are needed to provide our students with reduced ticket prices and to
help pay for the buses. $500 would be an enormous help.
Sailing and
Swimming Lessons:
One of the
biggest costs to Paul Cuffee School is the bus transportation to
field trips, swimming lessons at the YMCA, Save the Bay Camp and to
sailing lessons at the Providence Community Boating Center. If you
would like to help with scholarship money for lessons, camps and/or
buses, it would make a huge difference to children who otherwise
might not get the chance to go. Please contact Julia Karahalis in
the Development Office at 401-453-2626 x 118 or email
jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.
