Fall Picnic Party

On the Friday after Labor Day family and friends gather for an evening picnic on the school grounds. This is a great time to meet and greet new families, say hello to the teachers, and visit with classmates and friends.

Peace Ceremonies  

Our Peace Committee sponsors a peace ceremony on International Day of Peace each September. Children and staff gather at our peace pole to share songs, poems, and rituals. Additionally, committee members plan and present programs which provide staff renewal throughout the year.
Grandparents/Open House

 

Family and friends of the school visit the school on the third Sunday in October to tour the classrooms and buildings and to enjoy a day of visiting and meeting extended families and friends. Grandparents have been an integral part of the creation and success of Providence and we set aside this day to honor them.
Breakfast Café Each year, around Valentine’s Day, members of our entire school community participate in an event which is a favorite of both the children and teachers. Families come to school and enjoy a smorgasbord of breakfast foods which have been provided by the families. This is another time for parents, children, and staff to spend time together outside of the classroom.  After gathering for a time in the morning, children enter their classrooms for the day, and parents go on about their daily routine.
Earth Day Our children learn throughout the year that they are the stewards of the Earth. Children at the 6-9 level create Earth Day reports/projects which they display and explain to the students and parents. The day ends with a picnic lunch on the grounds.
4-H Camp Lower elementary students spend the night at 4-H Camp in Carlisle, Ky. each spring. The two-day event covers activities in team building, water ecology, birding, art, day and night hikes and campfire singing. Parents are also welcome to this educational, fun event.
Pine Mountain Upper elementary students travel to the Pine Mountain Settlement School in the fall for an overnight. Their experience includes weaving, pond studies, folk dancing, and a hike to the summit.
Spring Family Picnic Each year the day after the last day of school, the Providence family gathers for a year end picnic held at a local park. This tradition is a great send off to the summer break.
