Mark and Mardy’s “Farm” in New Hampshire -SOLD

Imagine yourself surrounded by the rustic beauty of New Hampshire in a beautiful old farmhouse. 40 acres of woods, hiking, a mountain view, birds, privacy, a frog pond, and a large barn for hide and seek are just a few of the wonderful things you can look forward to. Swimming is nearby and if this isn’t enough, it is only a two-hour drive to Boston, Mt. Washington or whale watching from Portsmouth. One week family vacation.

What are Community Offerings?

The idea is simple: friends and families of the school donate activities - outings for children, dinners at a home or delivered to your door, services such as yard work or pet-sitting, vacation homes, anything that comes naturally - and offer them for sale to other members of our school community.

Proceeds will be donated to our Annual Fund. Families have the chance to enjoy getting to know each other through these activities while also supporting the school.

Watch this site for other offerings as they come in! We will continue to add and offer activities throughout the year via the web, and we will keep you posted via email and our school publications.

Offering Ideas

We're always looking for new offerings. Below are some of the offerings which have already sold. If you have an idea that you would like to offer, send an email or call today (814-237-8386).

BMX Show at Woodward -- SOLD

Meet at Woodward Camp, take a tour of the facilities, and then get your own personal X Games Experience- watch Kevin Robinson, 4 times X Games Gold Medalist, World Record Holder, and Shaye's Daddy, put on a personal demo for you while you stand on top of the ramp. He will be joined by a group of his closest BMX friends who will all be there to give you the show of your life!

Flavors of Spain -- SOLD

Bike, beach comb, play in the sand, and get away from it all for three nights/four days.

Pet Sitting -- SOLD

Going away for the week or weekend? Let us care for your pet, large or small, while you are away. We will come to your home to care for dogs or cats – or care for your little critters (hamsters, fish, birds, etc.) in our home. They will be given lots of attention.

Holiday Cookies -- SOLD

Shorten your holiday shopping list and give a gift of homemade sweetness. Order 3 dozen assorted cookies made by alumni parent Joanne Green. Her cookies have a reputation for being extra delicious! Your cookies will be delivered in time for the Holiday Gathering, December 22 at 1:45 pm.
