Building Blocks Campaign Wish Lists
1. Grammar School, Doreen Howell:
Request: Tea Sets for 1st/5th Annual Colonial Tea.
Cost: 26 groups of six, three-piece places settings needed. Six three-piece settings cost
$45. Place setting includes cups, saucers, and dessert plates. Also need: 5 sets of a
creamer/sugar bowl ($17/set) and 5 teapots ($24 each).
Why Do We Need Them?
In the past, the parents have trusted us with the use of their fine china for this event but
as the event has changed and now includes the fifth grade with the first grade, we feel it
is worth the investment to have these items as part of our supplies. In order to serve all
of the classes we would need the following items:
Six three-piece place settings
Teapot
Creamer/Sugar Bowl
Dessert Plate
Request: Document Cameras and LCD Projectors, 8 of them desired.
Cost: The Document Camera is $800, the LCD Projector is $400.
Why Do We Need Them?
New technology is making the use of overhead projectors obsolete and opening the
possibility for students to see and experience 3-D objects as well as maps and pictures in
books without transferring the information to a transparency. This opens up a whole
new world to classroom investigations through the use of a document camera and an
LCD Projector. The document camera can also be hooked up to a computer, a
microscope, or a TV to project the objects or pages in a book.
We desire to eventually have document cameras in all our classrooms (40 units) but
right now we are building to have one available to each grade level.

2. School of Logic, Liz Benigno
Request:
Cost:
4 Pull Down Map Sets for American History
--2 for 1865-Present Day
--2 for 1900-Present Day
$600 per map set ($600X4 = $2,400)
Why Do We Need Them?
One of the most interesting elements of a classroom is the maps
that adorn the walls. We have been blessed over the past years with
wonderful sets of maps for classrooms. However, as humanities
teachers have begun teaching multiple disciplines, we do not have
enough map sets for each teacher to have the adequate maps in their
classrooms. Maps are wonderful tools for both teachers and students
in investigating the significance of history.
* These maps would be excellent resources for the teachers of
our American History, European History, and Medieval History classes.

Request: Nike 62” Waterproof Umbrellas, one for each portable.
Cost: $24.00 each
3. School of Rhetoric, Craig Doerksen
Requests:
A series of quality, framed or wood-mounted prints of works of art and other images
that represent important developments in Western Civilization--beautiful works that
embody the history, ideas, and discoveries
we study at Regents.
Why do we need them?
The school will be a better place to learn with beautiful and important works
in our hallways. Our hallways now have lockers, a few bulletin boards, and
long expanses of empty, bare walls. We’d like to make them beautiful.
We don’t need beauty in our lives. We don’t need to be inspired. We don’t
need to be moved by beautiful paintings, challenged by difficult pieces, or
reminded of critical moments in history. But we are better when we are.

4. Athletics Department, Beck Brydon
Request: 1 Samsung Front Load Washer and Dryer
Cost: Set: $2,552.46
Why Do We Need These?
The Athletic Department currently has “Laundry Angels” --Sweet Moms who take
laundry home each week to wash and bring back to the Athletic Department, simply
because the current washer and dryer is very small, old (probably used when they
received it!) and can not handle the immense volume of laundry that needs to be done.
They share with the cafeteria which has a load of towels that must also get washed each
day.
Getting 2 new washers and 2 new dryers would allow us to wash uniforms more often
and really get them clean and sanitary. With MSRA (Staph infections) always lurking
around, the cleaner we keep the uniforms the better. This really would be a major asset
to our school. Thank you.

5. School of Rhetoric, Math & Science, Chris Corley:
Requests:
Mathematica® Software + Laptop
Cost:
Laptop and Site License): $2100.00
Why Do We Need This?
Advanced mathematics is complex and difficult to
understand; this is a tool that will help students grasp
complicated concepts.
Mathematica® is the world’s most advanced mathematical
and statistical data analysis and visualization tool, with
applications throughout the natural sciences and
engineering. Its applications in the classroom include
analytical solution of algebraic and trigonometric
equations, differentiation and integration in calculus,
genome sequence matching, and statistical modeling. A
Mathematica® site license, with state of the art laptop on
which it is installed, will allow this powerful mathematical
tool to be used in all School of Rhetoric math and science classes.

7. Operations, Ron Wood
1. Request: Surveillance camera
Regents is upgrading the security system that monitors our buildings and property.
New cameras run on the school computer network instead of separate cabling, making
them easy to install and configure. They also respond to door ajar signals to focus when
a door opens or there is motion in an area. Parking lot, athletic fields, Nature Center
will receive added level of protection, both by deterrence, and by creating the possibility
to identify culprits.

 Fine Arts corridor and main hallway (3)
 2nd Floor of Grammar building (2)
