CALENDAR & EVENTS
Visiting the School
We welcome prospective parents and students to meet the director and see a classroom in action. If you are interested, please contact us at admin@exeterdayschool.com.
Halloween Festival
Our annual Halloween Festival is a family event the weekend before Halloween. There are games, goodies, a Halloween themed movie, and Trunk or Treat! The trunks are decorated by family volunteers, and a new winner is awarded annually.
Holiday Ornament Decorating
In December, EDS families are invited to come to school and decorate ornaments for their trees.
Hot cocoa and treats are served. This is an event organized by our Parents Committee.
End 68 Hours of Hunger Food Drive
After the new year, Exeter Day School asks families to bring in donations for End 68 Hours of Hunger, a non-profit that addresses food insecurity among school aged children.
Thank you to all EDS families for your generosity.
