I just found out that this swing set is the result of a math class! What a great way to spend time with friends. The New School is such a unique community. I’m SO thankful and lucky to be a part of it!•

Our Fall Family Work Day was a success! We came to

Our Fall Family Work Day was a success! We came together as a community and tackled a few of the larger projects on our campus today. It was fun to put some hard work in and expand our outdoor classroom space. It was even more fun to fire up the wood burning stove, which was a senior project from a few years back, and make some yummy pizzas!
A giant thank you goes out to Amber for coordinating this event, to Hannaford for donating the pizza supplies, Mother Nature for the beautiful weather, and most importantly- to all of you folks in our wonderful community for your commitment to The New School. We are so lucky to be navigating these crazy times together!!!•

Our awesome facilities coordinator/ASL educator, A

Our awesome facilities coordinator/ASL educator, Amber Meagher, is beyond excited to put TNSs new tools to work tomorrow at our Fall Facilities Work Day. We are incredibly thankful for our awesome board members! Sharon Staz recently donated some much needed tools to keep our grounds looking ship shape. We can now properly care for our apple and pear trees!
We’re looking forward to firing up the wood fired stove and making pizza with all of the families that are spending the day helping with our chores.

What a perfect afternoon for our student meeting!

What a perfect afternoon for our student meeting! Every week our community comes together to discuss current issues, events, and ideas. This time is special because we learn how to use our voice and make the changes we need. We make our own rules each year when we write our Community Agreements. After all, we are all in this together!
