October Fest (hosted by the Explorers)

This event will celebrate the Fall season.  Join us at Schartner’s Farm for a hayride,, pumpkins and walk through the maze.  This event is held October 15^th at 10:30.

Compass School Bonfire (hosted by the Navigators)

Sporting Goods and Winter Clothing Swap

This is a new event this year.  It will occur on November 19^th at the school.  The hours have yet to be determined.  More information will be available as the date nears.  It will be a time for parents to have a chance to unload unused clothing and equipment and pick up some new ones for a fraction of the price.

February Break Outing

This event is designed as a way to bring the students together during the February Break.  Last year a trip to the URI ice rink was scheduled, but this doesn’t have to be the same each year.  The date for this event has yet to be determined as well.

 Nature Walk (hosted by the Adventurers)

This event is held to bring the community together to appreciate the natural world.  In the past we have done a seal walk at Rome Point in March, but the activity is not determined at this time.  

Walkathon for Juvenile Diabetes

This is also a new event that we will have this year.  It will be held at Ninigret Park on Saturday, March 31st. It will begin at 2PM. There is a family at the school that is directly affected by this disease and this is a great opportunity to give support to them.

In preparation for the springtime as well as the Eco-Fair, we will hold a campus cleaning and landscaping in early March.
