Paul Kares supports Southern Delaware School of the Arts

Paul Kares recently awarded $1,500 to the Southern Delaware School of the Arts in Selbyville.

Part of the Indian River School District, the school serves students in grades K-8, and offers classes in dance, drama, instrumental/music, physical education, visual arts and vocal music.

Founded by musician/chef Paul Cullen and Jim Rivette, Paul Kares supports aspiring artists and culinary professionals. Grants have gone toward band travel expenses, music camp tuition, culinary trip expenses and college hospitality programs. 

“The Southern Delaware School of the Arts allows students to explore their creativity and talent,” said Rivette. “We are so impressed with the school’s mission and service to southern Sussex County artists.” 

Mary Caligiure, a vocal music teacher, said the donation would benefit the arts department and the students.
