A little sneak peek from our 5th graders’ adaptation of Don Quixote de La Mancha! 🎭⚔️
What you don’t see in this clip are the many age-related puns and clever jokes that had our School Meeting audience laughing throughout the performance. Their creativity, confidence, and sense of humor were on full display.
A special thank you to Raquel for bringing this wonderful production to life and for sharing it with our community at yesterday’s School Meeting. Bravo, 5th graders! 👏✨

This week our preschoolers are celebrating the end of the school year with their beloved Special Week! From Pajama Day and Crazy Hair Day to Hat Day, Water Day, and Costume Day, each day brings a little extra fun and excitement.
Today we’re sharing some of the fantastic hats that made Hat Day so special. Which one is your favorite? 🎩🧢👒

One of the things that makes Cold Spring so special is that community extends far beyond the classroom.
Our Gratitude Gathering brought together families from Preschool through Sixth Grade for an evening of connection, conversation, and simply enjoying one another’s company. It was a chance to meet parents whose children may be years apart, share stories, laugh together, and strengthen the relationships that make our school such a close-knit and supportive community.
We often talk about the importance of community for children, but it matters just as much for the adults who help make Cold Spring what it is. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a warm and welcoming evening. We’re already looking forward to the next one💚

Rob was out sick for School Meeting… so naturally, we turned to a 5th grader and asked, “Want to lead the singing today?”
Without missing a beat: “Sure!”
No practice. No rehearsal. No stage fright. Just a child who felt fully comfortable stepping into the moment because that’s the kind of community we build at Cold Spring.
A place where children grow up feeling seen, supported, and confident enough to say yes to something unexpected.

We’re still reminiscing about Field Day 💚 What a joyful day filled with laughter, teamwork, community, and so many unforgettable moments.
Swipe all the way to the end for a special surprise 👀💦 Let’s just say our annual tradition of dumping water on teachers included a very special guest this year…

There’s something special about watching former teachers reconnect with the students they once knew so well 💚
Yesterday, one of our former associate teachers returned to visit just as their class prepares to graduate from Cold Spring. The joy and genuine connection between teacher and students was such a beautiful reminder of the lasting relationships built within our community.
Even more inspiring, they shared stories about their journey since Cold Spring — now serving as a head teacher and teaching around the world, including most recently in Costa Rica. What a gift for our students to see where curiosity, passion, and joyful learning can lead. 🌎
