while building fine motor skills
A group of Killingly kindergarteners enjoy completing activities with
hands-on manipulatives that are designed to strengthen fine motor skills
and foster cognitive development. Occupational therapist Karen Kent’s
2011 FOLK grant made it possible for her to develop these types of fine
motor boxes that are now being used by kindergarteners across the district.

KILLINGLY VILLAGER FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2011 A3
BY CLARE HOPKINS
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
KILLINGLY — The Friends of
Learning in Killingly (FOLK),
awarded 10 grants to Killingly educators
to help them carry out educational
projects Monday, March 10,
at the Killingly Town Hall. “The
reviewers and Advisory Committee
were very impressed with this
year’s project submissions. The projects
were very well thought out,
implementation and follow-up plans
were clear and realistic, and the
projects all strive to inspire a love of
learning,” said Advisory Committee
Chair Janice Ahola-Sidaway.
The FOLK Fund is an educational
endowment fund created
in 1998 by classmates and friends
of the KHS Class of 1966 to promote
innovative school-based
educational projects in Killingly
and inspire the love of learning
in Killingly’s youth. Since its
inception the fund has awarded
$25,700 through 82 grants that
support educational projects at
Killingly schools. Projects in the
past have included environmental
education projects, literacy,
science and art projects, service
learning and citizenship education,
technology, business, communication
and career planning.
FOLK awards grants to Killingly teachers
The Friends of Learning in Killingly Fund (FOLK) recently awarded 10 Killingly
educators with grants to fund different projects. Standing, from left: Barbara
Porter (KCS), Sandra Kelley (KIS), Gale Norman (KCS) Anne Vasbinder (KIS),
Michael Wuescher (KHS), Jennifer Hawkins (KHS), Karen Kent (KMS),
(Seated, from left: Arlene Gauthier (KIS), Julie Corden (KIS), Colleen
Lugauskas (KCS)
“Because FOLK established its endowment
fund more than 12 years
ago and has grown over the years,
we have been lucky that despite the
recent recession, we have been able
so far to maintain our recent funding
level while still ensuring that the
Fund will continue in perpetuity,”
said Ahola-Sidaway.
The fund makes grants up to $250
but larger grants of $400 to $500 are
available for collaborations between
teachers, academic departments or
schools.
This year grants were given to Barbara
Porter (KCS), Sandra Kelley
(KIS), Gale Norman (KCS) Anne
Vasbinder (KIS), Michael Wuescher
(KHS), Jennifer Hawkins (KHS),
Karen Kent (KMS), Arlene Gauthier
(KIS), Julie Corden (KIS), and Colleen
Lugauskas (KCS).
Lugauskas, a grade 3-4 reading
specialist at Killingly Central School,
will be using her $400 grant to help
with the purchase of bicycle safety
books as part of a larger initiative to
promote bicycle safety at the school.
“The money will be used to purchase
a copy of ‘The Bicycle Book’ by Gail
Gibbons for each third and fourth
grade student at Killingly Central
School. In conjunction with the book
giveaway, Danielson Adventure Sports
will be coming on Friday, April 1 to
give a talk about bike maintenance and
road safety rules to our third and fourth
graders. Students will also have the
opportunity to enter a bike safety
poster contest at the school and all
families will have the opportunity to
purchase low cost bike helmets and
safety gear,” said Lugauskas.
Killingly Central school first grade
teacher Porter will be using her $250
grant to help defray transportation and
entry costs for 100 grade one students
to take a field trip to Mystic Aquarium.
“The trip is an important complement
to our science program and study of
animals. Many students do not have
experiences with live animals and this
field trip is a great chance for them to
observe real animals and make connections
to what they have read and
studied about in school,” said Porter.

2011 Grant Highlights
FOLK awarded $ 3,200 of grant funding in 2011 to
support 10 worthy initiatives, including funds for
books to complement a bike safety program, children’s
magazine subscriptions, hands-on tools to foster
fine motor skills, DVD learning tools and other
technology, science laboratory supplies and guide
books, and out-of-town fieldtrips. You can read details
about the projects throughout this newsletter.
Below we showcase a few of them.
A grant to teacher Sandy Kelley helped students in
the KIS Chrysalis program, all of whom are multihandicapped,
to experience the fun of traveling by
train, by boarding the train in Providence to travel to
Boston and back. Even the bus ride to Providence
was exciting. Sandy explained, “We were almost
there...all the way to Federal Hill in Providence when
we were stuck in traffic. Our bus was late and we
didn’t want to miss the train. The circus had come to
town and we had to watch as all the animals crossed
the road, including several elephants!
Prior to the trip Sandy contacted the Massachusetts

Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to arrange for
the group’s Providence-to-Boston train trip. The company
went out of its way to cater to the special needs of
the group and make the excursion truly memorable.
Sandy reported on the trip: “The MBTA was so good
to us...they were waiting for us when we rushed to the
train. We really enjoyed sitting at the top of the double
decker. The conductor came by and punched our tickets.
We heard the train whistle as we watched the
countryside go by. In Boston, the crew was so helpful
getting our wheelchairs off. We were also greeted by a
representative of the MBTA who gave us a little talk
about the commuter line. South Station is a bustling
place! We all ordered lunch from their food court and
sat for awhile enjoying the ambiance as we ate. Before
heading back to Providence, we went outside the train
station to see all the tall buildings and the entrance to
the subway. We checked the big board at South Station
for our track number and headed home! What an exciting
day! Still I get asked, ‘When will we go on the
train again?’"

More 2011 Grant highlights…
Off to the State Capitol
KHS teacher Joseph Lewerk’s grant
helped students in three American Citizenship
courses participate in a field trip
to the Connecticut General Assembly in
Hartford. Joseph filed this fascinating
report. “One hundred and ten students
participated in the trip. Prior to the trip
students researched bills proposed by
Connecticut legislators and tracked the
progress of these law proposals up to and
beyond the visit. Based on this prior research
many students had insightful questions
to ask of their current representatives.
Students also visited the Connecticut
State Museum and completed an enjoyable
and enlightening scavenger hunt that
acquainted them with many of the highlights
of Connecticut's history.
By the end of the school year students
revisited the bills they'd been following
and discovered that very few actually became
law, demonstrating the intentional
complexities of the law-making process
and the need for citizens to voice their
opinions to their representatives when
they want to see legal changes effected.”
Helping Foster Social Skills
KIS teacher Lorraine Mcleish’s FOLK
grant was used to purchase a social skills
DVD set that is designed to help students’
social competence in everyday situations.
Lorraine uses the multimedia materials
with her students and also shares them
with other teachers. KMS Special Education
teacher Jean Hemmig, who also uses
YouTube and puppets in her teaching
strategy, found the DVD complemented
her lesson on “Brushing Teeth and Going
to the Dentists”. She reported, “Overall,
the videos have been a great enhancement
to our program. Thank you FOLK!”
Bike Safety Week at KCS
KCS teacher Colleen Lugauskas used her
grant to support a bike safety initiative, Ride
Safe, Ride Smart, for the school’s 3rd and 4th
grade students. Colleen reported that Don Dauphinais,
owner of Danielson Adventure Sports,
taught the children about bike maintenance and
how that can impact rider safety. At the end
of the afternoon, each student was given Gail
Gibbon’s Bicycle Book, which was purchased
with the FOLK grant. Students were encouraged
to design a bicycle safety poster; and
those who did so participated in a raffle for
bicycle safety gear. “Through all these efforts,
it is our hope that students will ride safe and
ride smart,” she explained.
Learning about Vampires
& Other Captivating Subjects
KIS Grade 6 Social Studies teacher Julie Corden
used her FOLK grant for a class subscription
to the award-winning World History
magazine Calliope. She explains how the
magazine is engaging her students:
“This year our social studies students have
greatly enjoyed reading Calliope magazine. We
started off the school year reading about "30
Events That Changed the World". It opened
their eyes to see that actions of one or a few
can and do impact the world. In October, the
students read the "Vampires: They're Everywhere!"
issue. They were fascinated to learn
about the history of vampires, both myths and
legends, and gain an understanding that often
these myths grew out of a lack of scientific
knowledge in the past. For example, "moaning"
heard from a corpse does not mean they
are alive; rather it is the bacterial gasses escaping
the body by flowing over the vocal cords.
When the bodies were moved, this allowed the
gasses to escape, thereby creating this sound—
not the vampire finally dying because you have
now jabbed a stake in his heart!”
FOLK in the Local News (continued from p. 2)
KCS first graders at Mystic Aquarium
A Trip To Mystic Aquarium
Barbara Porter’s FOLK grant helped defray
costs of a fieldtrip to Mystic Aquarium by KCS
first graders. Barbara reports on this adventure:
“It was a great chance for students to get out of
the classroom and experience what they had
studied in the area of sea life and animals. The
first “ohh” and “ahhs” came as we crossed the
Thames River on the Gold Star Bridge on the
way to the aquarium.
Upon arrival several groups ate their lunches
so they were free to explore the inside and outside
of the aquarium without having to stop
later; plus first graders are always hungry!
There was a nice picnic area right outside of
the aquarium where we were able to eat the
lunches we brought.
After lunch, most attended the sea lion show
in the Marine Theater where they learned first
hand about sea lions and how they differ from
seals, and how talented and intelligent the sea
creatures are. We were also very fortunate to be
the ONLY school group at the aquarium, which
meant there was room enough for all at all the
exhibits and hands-on learning stations.
We also had a close up view of Belugas, sting
rays and the penguins (after all, our school
mascot is a penguin!). My students’ favorite
part was the touch tank where they got to explore
starfish, hermit crabs, and a type of small
shark. More than one first grader was heard to
exclaim, “This is the best day of my life!”
“All of the proposed projects had special qualities,
so it’s next to impossible to single out any as
more noteworthy than the others,” said Ahola-
Sidaway “I was particularly pleased and impressed
with the fact that teachers are sharing
resources with their colleagues and that educational
specialists are partnering up to to carry out
exciting interdisciplinary initiatives. It’s wonderful
to see that teachers are much less isolated
from each other than was so often the case in the
past in virtually all schools across the country. It
is such a pleasure to be associated with the FOLK
initiative, which is helping support Killingly educators
in these joint endeavors.”
Teachers at KIS, Vasbinder and Gauthier, have
teamed up to carry out a project called “Killingly
Connections.” Gauthier’s classes will research
and develop material about the history of Killing-
ly; and Vasbinder’s classes will use this material
to develop, design, and produce professional
style brochures for publication. The
$400 grant will be used to purchase a digital
scanner and cameras.
The project will culminate with the placement
of our student-created brochures in the
Killingly Town Hall for community use,” Vasbinder
explained.
Special education teachers Sandra Kelley
and Ann McLeish teach multi-handicapped
students in Killingly Intermediate School’s
Chrysalis program. Kelly, who is Killingly’s
2011 Teacher of the Year, explained that the
students have been reading about different
modes of transportation.
“We recently read The Polar Express,
which sparked an interest in trains,” she said.
Her $250 grant will help make it possible for their
21 students to take their first ever train ride, a return
trip to Boston’s historic South Station.
Killingly Memorial School occupational therapist
Karen Kent will be using her $250 grant to purchase
supplies for “fine motor boxes” for each of the eight
kindergarten classes at KMS and KCS. The boxes
will contain a range of items that will be used to
complete 10 different activities specif-ically designed
to develop hand musculature that is important
for writing and other life skills. “These activities will
be able to be used on an individual basis as well as
within small groups,” Kent explained. The boxes
will also help the teachers to spot students who may
need special fine-motor interventions. Clare Hopkins

KHS Class of ’66 celebrates 45 th
Susan, Rich & Joyce
Renee, Evelyn, Madelyn & Rita
Reunion!
It was a clear mid-September evening, and
the setting was the informal Gathering Spot at
Langevin Tree Farm on Allen Hill Road, overlooking
the beautiful Quinebaug Valley.
About 70 classmates and guests came from
near and far to mark the 45 th anniversary of
our high school graduation — many from
neighboring towns and states, and others from
as far away as Texas (Mikel Fiske), Idaho
(Gerry Gibeault), Ontario (Janice Ahola-
Sidaway), Florida (Ron Aubin, Joyce Rukstela,
& Jay Gould), Georgia (Wally Anderson),
South Carolina (George Katsapis), and
Montana (Gair Lernould). Susan Rees
Jones, our tireless reunion leader, had spent
the last year working on and coordinating the
myriad tasks that go into an event of this sort
— negotiating the locale, drafting reservation
forms, preparing the site, tracking down
classmates. Cathy Wade had spent months
locating addresses of classmates; and Rich
Rust and family did the cooking, organized by
Rich and Joyce’s daughter, Christy Racine.
Thanks to the many donated items from classmates,
the raffle was a huge success. Rich &
Susan hosted the raffle, which netted $251,
which was added to the Class bank account.

Many ardent FOLK supporters no longer live in Killingly, or for that matter, in
Connecticut. KHS Class of ’66 Founding Member Paul Theroux is a perfect example.
Despite living in northern NH, each year Paul has served as a volunteer
grant reviewer, and some years he has even driven down to Killingly to serve
on its Advisory Committee or attend the Awards Reception,
Prior to his move to NH and following service
in the US Navy, Paul spent three decades in Waterford
CT, where he worked for and then owned
and operated three Funeral homes in the region
(Fulton-Theroux Funeral Service) Throughout his life
he has been very active in community service, including
a 30-year membership in Waterford Rotary,
a volunteer with Boy Scouts, and service on numerous
appointed and elected committees, town boards
and commissions. He currently owns and operates a True Value Hardware and
Lumber store. He is married to Terrill-Ann Sargent, a craftier and artist working in
Japanese Embroideries, and is father to two children, a son Christopher and
adopted daughter Rebecca, With his numerous and diverse life experiences,
FOLK is truly lucky to count him among its supporters.
