This is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content.
If you want to read, I might suggest a good book, perhaps Hemingway or Melville. That’s why they call it, the dummy copy. This, of course, is not the real copy for this entry. Rest assured, the words will expand the concept. With clarity. Conviction. And a little wit.
In today’s competitive market environment, the body copy of your entry must lead the reader through a series of disarmingly simple thoughts.
All your supporting arguments must be communicated with simplicity and charm. And in such a way that the reader will read on. (After all, that’s a reader’s job: to read, isn’t it?) And by the time your readers have reached this point in the finished copy, you will have convinced them that you not only respect their intelligence, but you also understand their needs as consumers.
As a result of which, your entry will repay your efforts. Take your sales; simply put, they will rise. Likewise your credibility. There’s every chance your competitors will wish they’d placed this entry, not you. While your customers will have probably forgotten that your competitors even exist. Which brings us, by a somewhat circuitous route, to another small point, but one which we feel should be raised.

Ski and Skate Sale
2022-11-04 15:00 - 20:00
Pine Cobble School will hold its annual Ski and Skate Sale on Friday, November 4th, from 3pm to 8pm. This year, the sale — one of the most popular winter sports sales in the region — will return as one day only. This sale has long been a tradition among winter sports enthusiasts eager to score the best prices for the best equipment; for many area residents, the event marks the unofficial beginning of the winter season!

Pine Cobble’s Ski and Skate sale offers a vast array of the finest in new and gently-used winter sports equipment, including both adults’ and kids’ sizes. It features an incredible assortment of ski clothing and equipment from top brands: Rossignol, Atomic, Volant, Dynastar, Nordica, Salomon, Lange, Oakley, Marker and many more. Skis (racing & parabolic with current bindings), poles, boots, snowboards, snowshoes, X-country equipment, hockey & figure skates, ski clothing, fleece, hats, gloves, parkas, pants, goggles, winter socks, liners and accessories for adults and children will be available.

Expert skiers, snowboarders, and skaters will be on hand to answer all technical & sizing questions. Major credit cards are accepted, and Pine Cobble community members will be on hand to help you carry gear to your car.

It’s a great way to make money too; the school will accept your gently used winter sports equipment for consignment. Consigning your old equipment is a great way to upgrade your winter sports gear, or to finance new equipment for your growing kids. Consignments for the sale (60% to consignor/40% to school programs) may be dropped off at Pine Cobble on Wednesday & Thursday, November 2nd & 3rd from 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. All skis must be parabolic/shaped and must have current bindings.

Of course, donations are always welcome and can be dropped off at the school’s entrance.

The sale directly benefits children in our community; 100% of the proceeds support educational & extra-curricular programs. As an independent school, Pine Cobble School receives no state or federal funding. Pine Cobble School is at 163 Gale Road in Williamstown. (off Rte. 43 & 1/2 mile from The Clark)

Halloween: Pumpkin Day
2022-10-31
Halloween Happenings!
Monday, October 31st is Halloween! In the morning, families are invited to join us at 8:30 for a short, slightly-spooky assembly followed by our annual Costume Parade on campus. Students may wear their (school-appropriate) costumes to school to participate in the morning festivities. After the assembly, grades Beginner through Five will march in the Costume Parade with the middle school and grown-ups cheering them on. Students wearing costumes should be sure to have a regular set of school clothes to change into after the parade is over. During the day, homerooms can choose to share allergy-sensitive, store-bought, individually wrapped treats with each other. In the afternoon, every student will decorate their own pumpkin to bring home at the end of the day! Families are asked to park in the lower lot after drop-off if they plan on attending the morning assembly and parade. Please let your child(ren)’s homeroom teacher know if you’d like to send in treats or plan to join us on campus for the morning assembly and parade!

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.
