Just Friends, More Alike Than Different: The Just Friends Program, developed by the Cumberland School Volunteers, is a disability awareness program offered to all 4th grade students in Cumberland. The program consists of 4 presentations to each 4th grade classroom. It is presented by trained volunteers and educates students about disabilities through instruction and engaging activities. The topics covered include: blindness, deafness, physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, learning differences and autism. The program promotes an understanding and acceptance of others with differences.
Reading Is Fundamental: For over 35 years, the Cumberland School Volunteers has sponsored the Reading is Fundamental program. The program, offered in all 5 Cumberland Elementary Schools, promotes and supports "student choice" in reading materials. The opportunity to self-select books excites students to read, motivates them to read more, helps them to develop self-confidence and promotes self-discovery. This free book program distributes over 6,000 books to more than 2,000 students each year. Each year, the CSV must raise funds to support the costs associated with the program.
