Under the guidance and direction of art teacher Mrs. Kim
Boucher, the students in the 4th and 5th grades –
180 in all, at the Myron J. Francis and Alice M. Waddington Schools in
East Providence drew artwork pictures of the 21 lighthouses of Rhode
Island.
During the week previous to the art lesson on
lighthouses, David Kelleher of the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, a
chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation, presented a program to
the students about all the lighthouses in the Ocean State. Mr. Kelleher
showed the students pictures and models of all the lighthouses to
familiarize them with each one and |

to help them begin the process of selecting which beacon they would like to
draw.
On the day of the
art lesson, Mrs. Boucher also provided them with sample drawings of some of
the lighthouses taken from a large poster of Rhode Island lighthouses. The
art lesson on lighthouses was part of the plan by the Friends of Pomham
Rocks Lighthouse education committee to |

begin
suggesting the use of lighthouses within the curriculum in the East
Providence schools, along with the more comprehensive classroom lessons
presented by Mr. Kelleher to other grade levels.
The drawings produced by the students were quite
extraordinary, and pleased Mrs. Boucher, Mr. Kelleher, their classroom
teachers and the students themselves. A total of one hundred student
drawings were selected to be displayed in the main hallway of the East
Providence City Hall. The drawings from the |

Francis School will be displayed the week of June 5, 2006 and the drawings
from the Waddington School will be displayed the week of June 12th.
The committee is also thinking of using some of these wonderful drawings as
pictures for a 2007 calendar as a fundraiser for the continued restoration
of the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse.
