Building Fund
During the 17-18 school year, our new building was completed at our Camp Caravan campus.
The donations of many friends helped open the new building in September 2018. The school carries a large mortgage and welcomes donations to lower the mortgage, so that tuition income can be directed to educating children.
Now settled in the new building, we renovated the ‘Auditorium’ building for all-school events, performances, dance classes, and community events. This 36’ by 60’ building is completely insulated, rewired, new walls and ceiling and septic installed, and it's heated! With the cost of building materials skyrocketing, the handicap bathrooms and handicap ramp put us over budget, adding an additional $25,000 to the cost of the project. Donations are welcome to defray these final expenses.
Come visit anytime to see this lovely building, now in use fully, with an occupancy permit. Children have dance classes, yoga classes, art classes and more in this bright cheery warm space. It has a stage too, for performances and the 5th-6th class annual play. This serves the school well as a community event space.

Pancake Breakfast & Silent Auction
Once a year, Village School parents host Saturday Morning on Royalston Common, on the common in Royalston, usually the first Saturday in June.
The morning includes a pancake breakfast, a silent auction, the Millers River Morris Men dancing, a live birds of prey presentation and much more. This fundraiser is dedicated to improvements to the Village School buildings.
Coffee Fundraiser
If you drink coffee, you can buy fresh coffee, whole or ground, monthly, online at the school website. You pay the same price or less than you would in the store for this high quality, locally roasted coffee. The coffee is delivered to the school a week later, and is waiting for you in the hallway.

I saw a clear difference between the Village School and the public system or even other private schools. Village School children receive an emotional education (my words completely) unavailable elsewhere. This is so important for parents to see but not always easy to describe.
