Shout Out: Thank you to all the families who came out on Friday to support one of our winter concerts! Also thank you to all the families who supported our shopping night on Centre Street!

Winter Vacation: Our winter vacation is approaching and we wanted to remind our community of the dates. There will be no school on Friday, December 22nd – Tuesday, January 2nd. Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 3, 2018.

Gift Drive: If you are purchasing a gift for our gift drive be sure to bring it to either main office on Monday, December 18th.

Friend of the Curley Technology Campaign: As 2017 draws to a close, we all have many reasons to be thankful. The Curley K-8 School is one-third of the way through a great school year with a diverse group of nearly 1,000 students, We celebrated a record-breaking Fall Fling and are all excited about the upcoming library re-opening.

During this season of giving, we are asking you to consider supporting additional needs of the school, specifically technology. Why is technology important in school? Beyond writing stories, students at the Curley K-8 school have used computers to calculate the velocity of a dog on skateboard, design persuasive presentations, to read books and articles that would otherwise be inaccessible to them, to learn coding, and to record and critique their musical and dramatic performances.

The school has achieved a 2:1 student-to-laptop ratio for 3rd – 8th graders, but we are still working to raise $16,000 to buy another mobile laptop cart to ensure our students are prepared for the 21st century.


In addition, some of the technology we purchased several years ago will soon need to be replaced. We can expect technology to be an ongoing fundraising area from year-to-year.

Please consider a tax-deductible donation to Friends of the Curley K-8 in support of these important initiatives. A gift in any amount will help–please forward to family & friends, and any other potential supporters. Don’t forget to ask if your company “matches” charitable donations – we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. You can give in two ways:

  • Donate using PayPal by clicking here: PayPal.me/CurleyK8.
  • Send in cash or check to your child’s teacher or mail to: 40 Pershing Rd. JP, MA 02130 Attn: Curley SPC. Please make checks payable to: Friends of the Curley.

Sponsor a Family: We would like to CARE about families during this season. We are looking to see if any families are interested in adopting a family from Puerto Rico for the holidays. If you are interested please reach out to our guidance team, Sugeily Santos ssantos2@bostonpublicschools.org and Cristina Silva csilva4@bostonpublicschools.org

Coat Drive: We are accepting donations of winter wear (coats, boots, hats, scarves, mittens, etc). There are wrapped boxes in both the lower and upper school lobbies to leave donations. We can use all sizes from 3T to adult. If your child is in need of winter gear, please let his/her teacher know by filling out and returning the coat drive flyer sent home in your student’s folder. If any adult is interested in helping this effort this winter season, please contact Fran Batuyios, Curley parent, at fbatuyios@hotmail.com
 Thanks for helping keep Curley kids warm this winter!

School Preview Time: It is time for school previews and we could use your helping leading tours at the Curley on these dates/times:

Tuesday, December 19, 9am-10am
Tuesday, January 23rd, 9am-10am
There are Helpful Hint sheets to everyone who volunteers with ideas of what to highlight on the tours.

  • If you are new to giving tours we can also pair you up with someone who has led them before.
  • If you are able to help out leading tours even one day, it would be very helpful. Please sign up on the doodle poll: School Tours
  • If you know of someone who is not on this list who think might be willing to lead tours, please let me know.

______________________

Estimadas familias y amigos de la Curley:

A medida que el 2017 llega a su fin, todos tenemos muchas razones por ser agradecidos. La escuela Curley K-8 ya lleva un tercio del camino a través de un gran año escolar con casi un grupo diverso de 1,000 estudiantes. Celebramos un Fall Fling sin precedentes y todos estamos súper entusiasmado con la próxima reapertura de la biblioteca escolar.

Durante esta temporada, les estamos pidiendo que respalde ciertas necesidades de la escuela, específicamente en el área de la tecnología. ¿Por qué es importante la tecnología en la escuela? Más allá de escribir narrativas, los estudiantes de la escuela Curley K-8 han usado las computadoras para calcular la velocidad de una patineta, diseñar gráficamente presentaciones persuasivas, leer libros y artículos que de otro modo serían inaccesibles, aprender a grabar su propia música y criticar constructivamente en la música de otros, grabar su actuaciones dramáticas, entre otros.

En la actualidad, la escuela ha logrado una proporción de estudiantes por computadora de 2:1 para los estudiantes de 3 ° a 8 ° grado, pero aún seguimos necesitando la cantidad de $16,000 para comprar una computadora portátil móvil adicional con tabletas para asegurar que nuestros estudiantes estén preparados para el siglo XXI.

Por otra lado, parte de la tecnología que compramos hace varios años pronto necesitará ser reemplazada.

Por favor, considere una donación deducible de impuestos a nombre de “Friends of the Curley K-8” en apoyo a estas importantes iniciativas. Un donativo de cualquier cantidad ayudará . Puede reenviar esta información a sus familiars, amigos y a cualquier otro posible interesado en donar. No se olvide de preguntar si su empresa “parea” con donaciones de caridad, ya que somos una organización sin fines de lucro 501 (c) (3).
Recuerde que usted puede donar de dos maneras posibles:

  • Done utilizando PayPal accediendo aquí: PayPal.me/CurleyK8
  • Envíe efectivo o cheque al maestro de su hijo/a o por correo al: 40 Pershing Rd. JP, MA 02130. Por favor haga los cheques a nombre de: Friends of the Curley.

¡Gracias de antemano por su apoyo!

Atentamente,
El Consejo Escolar de Padres y la Directora Grassa
