Grandparents' & Special Friends' Day
2022-10-14
Dear Pine Cobble Families,
In alignment with our COVID protocols, we will be hosting Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day in conjunction with the official installation of Eric Chapman as 15th Head of School on Friday, October 14. This on-campus outdoor event will provide the opportunity for families and friends to join their children for this milestone event. The event will be followed by a celebratory community drum circle, led by our very own Early Childhood Music Teacher, Otha Day; the Library Book Fair; and light refreshments.
The event will begin at 1:00 p.m. and the activities will end at the close of the school day at 3:00 p.m. Normal end-of-day pick-up will take place and ASK will be available.
We hope that you and your family will join us on campus as we celebrate Eric’s arrival and the support of our families and friends. We would appreciate your RSVP by October 7th to c.naughton@pinecobble.org.

Pine Cobble Book Fair with the Bennington Bookshop
2022-10-12 - 2022-10-15
As we pull out our cozy sweaters and start lighting our fireplaces, let’s make sure we have some great books to read!
Support a local business, help our school library, and get some wonderful books into your own children’s collections, too. Come to the Pine Cobble Book Fair, October 12-14, from 2 to 5:30 p.m. in the Cluett House Reception room.
This year, we are excited to collaborate with the Bennington Bookshop, the oldest independent bookshop in Vermont. Classics, new releases, best sellers, and seasonal hidden gems for children of all ages will all be on display for order.
If you miss your chance to pick something up at our pop-up fair, just swing by the bookstore itself over the weekend. Be sure to let them know you are there for the fair so our library can get the benefit of your purchase!
Orders made at our Cluett location will be available approximately two weeks after the fair for you to pick up at the school or have sent home with your children.
If you’d like to get involved, consider being a book fair volunteer! Contact Cynthia Quiñones at c.quinones@pinecobble.org for more information.

Mountain Day
2022-10-07
It is that time of the year when the Pine Cobble community puts down our books and spends the day in nature. Mountain Day will take place on Friday, October 7th, and families are welcome to join the festivities, however the day will look a bit different this year. We have decided to embrace the “Ramble” hiking style and hike the trails that are connected to our beautiful campus. Our time will be spent in the woods as students navigate our trails to reach their checkpoints and destinations. A scavenger hunt will allow students to explore and gather specific items as they walk along the trails. Students will have the opportunity to create a community art project with all the collected items. The Mountain Day activities will conclude with a treat and a reflection period to allow students to enjoy their treats and discuss their experiences with their peers. We will be in touch as the day approaches with more details about specific times and activities for each class, but if you have any questions in the meanwhile, please reach out to Tory Buck. t.buck@pinecobble.org.

Recognition Day
2022-06-09
Recognition Day

June 9, 2022 – Recognition Day is a chance for the community to honor students as a group and as individuals who will receive awards in academics, athletics, the arts, leadership, and more. Some of these are named awards and are one small way for us, as a community, to thank a number of people who have been a big part of our school’s history. We all stop on this special day and think about those who have had an impact on this 85-year-old school and celebrate the founding mission which lives on to this day.
Details:
Students arrive at regular time. This is the last day of school for the Beginner, Pre-K, and Kindergarten classes. At 9:30 a.m., we will begin the school-wide Recognition Day, when each class is recognized and awards are given out. Parents, family members, and friends of all students should plan on attending this special and moving day. Student attire for the day is a dress, collared shirt, blouse, skirt, nice pants or dress shorts. After the ceremony, students go to their homerooms where they are dismissed to their parents. Students should bring a change of clothes for the picnic, following the ceremony. For students whose parents cannot attend the picnic, ASK Club will be available. Please notify Mr. Dan if you will be utilizing ASK Club by emailing ask@pinecobble.org by June 1st.
Please, no jeans or sneakers for this event. If you have any questions, please contact the front office at 413-458-4680 x10.
