WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Pine Cobble School will host its annual winter open house from 5 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 8. 
 
The free event coincides this year with the school's Winter Warm-Up (5:30–6:30), during which Pine Cobble students, families, and friends gather for activities and at which Open House attendees are welcome to stay.
 
Open to all families, the Open House gives parents and guardians a chance to tour the school's eighteen-acre, historic campus; learn about the school's curriculum, arts and sports programs, and more; meet with teachers, administrators, and current Pine Cobble families; and get any questions answered about the school. Refreshments will be available.
 
Pine Cobble School is an all-gender independent day school for children from early childhood through eighth grade. It is an inclusive community that welcomes students from all cultures and backgrounds with open arms and prepares them to be global citizens.
 
Founded in 1937, the school serves children from the Berkshires, Vermont, and New York State. It has kept many of its original traditions, such as Mountain Day and winter sports Fridays. More recent additions have included Language Day and Science Day.
 
"Join us on February 8 to discover all Pine Cobble has to offer," says Nicole LeBeau, Director of Enrollment.

St. Stan's Students Spread Holiday Cheer at Williamstown Commons

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Students from St. Stanislaus Kostka School  in Adams brought the holiday spirit to Williamstown Commons on Thursday, delivering handmade Christmas cards and leading residents in a community caroling session.
 
"It honestly means the world to us because it means the world to them," said nursing home Administrator Alex Fox on Thursday morning. "This made their days. This could have even made their weeks. It could have made their Christmas, seeing the children and interacting with the community."
 
Teacher Kate Mendonca said this is the first year her class has visited the facility, noting that the initiative was driven entirely by the students.
 
"This came from the kids. They said they wanted to create something and give back," Mendonca said. "We want our students involved in the community instead of just reading from a religion book."
 
Preparation for the event began in early December, with students crafting bells to accompany their singing. The handmade cards were completed last week.
 
"It's important for them to know that it's not just about them during Christmas," Mendonca said. "It's about everyone, for sure. I hope that they know they really helped a lot of people today and hopefully it brought joy to the residents here."
