2:00pm - 3:30pm -- This time slot is available as overflow for longer running afternoon classes.

Registration Fee

Co-op remains open for all North Country homeschooling families to join, however, this year we will be charging a $40 registration fee per family.This fee will cover each attending family’s portion of the co-op’s newly purchased insurance policy, an annual donation to the Cadyville Wesleyan Church (which let’s us use it’s building for free), and any other supplies the group needs (shelving, art supplies, etc).

** A registration table will be set up next to the sign-in table throughout the year.  Please take a moment to fill out our short registration form, and place it, along with your $40 fee, in the drop box provided.  

** We want co-op to remain an affordable, fun option for any member of the community who wants to participate!  If you have difficulty paying the $40 registration fee please contact Holly Warren to make alternativepayment arrangements.

Volunteer Requirements

Additionally,each family registering will be expected to volunteer twice each school year. Volunteering can take many forms -- teaching a class solo, team teaching a class with another co-op family, bringing in an outside teacher, or holding a staff position are all examples of ways to contribute.

Please speak with Holly Warren or Amanda Bokus if you need ideas for getting involved!

**  New families are able, and encouraged, to come to co-op 1-2 times prior to registering to make sure the group is a good fit for your family.  Once registered, new families have a one semester “grace period” before volunteer requirements begin so they have time to make friends & see how co-op runs.


Class Fees
Fees for individual classes will still be paid weekly to cover the teacher’s cost for materials. Fees will continue to be collected using the honor system at the sign-in table each class day  When you sign-in, please be sure to check to see if the classes your child is attending that day have fees, and if so, please put payment in the appropriate envelope.  

As class fees are generally very modest, it is best if families can bring $1's and $5's when paying for classes.

Fees will continue to be announced in the class descriptions so families can make sure they have the correct change.  

Please make sure to check the announcements for any classes your children are attending to see if there is a fee or other item that should be brought in order for them to participate.

Attendance Policy

Families are welcome to come to as many or as few classes as their schedules & interests allow.

We meet at regular times though, so that families can easily schedule other classes and commitments around co-op without conflicts. Please note the RSVP policy for each class your family is interested in & contact the appropriate person via email or phone.  

Due to the growth co-op has experienced in the past year, as well as how many students can comfortably fit in our classrooms, many classes this year will have limited class sizes ranging from 8-20 students per class. Classes posted with an enrollment limit will fill on a first come, first serve basis.  Please make sure to RSVP to the teacher so your child’s spot is held!   

To help balance this, however, we will now be offering more classes!   From 11am - 12pm we will now be offering 1 preschool class, 2-3 classes for K-3rd kids, 1-2 classes for 4th-6th, and 1 class for middle/high school students. For the 1pm class period we will be offering 1 elementary class, 1 4th-6th class, and 1 middle/high school class.

General Rules

1)  Parents, please do not drop off your child. Co-op is NOT a drop-off activity.  Parents are expected to be on the premises at all times. Drop-offs may occasionally be allowed on a case by case basis for children 7+, with prior permission from the instructor and/or one of the co-op coordinators.

2) Please no candy treats as prizes in class.  In order to be mindful of food allergies,encourage a healthy lifestyle, and mindful of everyone's various food preferences we are asking that candy not NOT be given by teachers as rewards in class.  Families are certainly welcome to pack whatever they would like for their own children to eat during the bag lunch/recess period, but for prizes please consider stickers or other small tokens.

3) All classes will be meeting in the basement of the Cadyville Wesleyan Church unless otherwise stated in the class description.  The church offices are upstairs, and in an effort to be respectful of this fact, and contain the mess we make, we are requesting that students stay downstairs where the classrooms area.  Unless there is a specific class they are attending upstairs, they are with a parent in the nursery area, or we are meeting in the Fellowship Hall for potluck/lunch period students should remain downstairs please!

4) The nursery room off the Fellowship Hall is for children age 3 & under, accompanied by a parent. Please make sure you or your child are cleaning up any toys used before leaving the nursery room.

Lake Placid Center for the Arts: Martha Redbone

Mon, November 17, 2014

10:00 AM

Grade Levels: 7 to 12
Price: $2 per student 

For tickets: 518.523.2512

Hailed as "America's next superstar"

Martha Redbone soulfully fuses her Cherokee, Choctaw and African-American heritage in a vibrant gumbo of funk and R&B.

With her latest album, Redone plunges her hands into both the fertile soil of timeless Appalachian roots music and the mystical and romantic poetry of William Blake. The result is brilliant and startlingly fresh.

About Her Latest Album - The Garden of Love

The Garden Of Love – The Songs of William Blake is not the debut album of singer/songwriter/producer/artist Martha Redbone, yet it embodies a sonic rebirth and fuller flowering of her own rootsy ethos. Warm, woodsy melodies take flight through the fusion of largely prewar string-band instrumentation and her heart-worn mountain holler, as Sister Martha tells tales of eternal humanitarian values distilled in the Southland since before America was founded.

Miss Redbone's music flows equally from her own unique, award-winning blend of Native American elements with funk and her deep roots in Appalachian folk and Piedmont blues favored by the matriarchy that raised her on a rich sojourn from Clinch Mountain, Virginia to Harlan County, Kentucky and beyond to Brooklyn's Dodge City-esque mean streets. Indeed, Garden Of Love seamlessly evokes the mid-20th century old timey gold rush when such artists as her fellow Kentuckians Jim Ford and Jackie DeShannon fearlessly infused their downhome blues between canyon air ballets and retronuevo cabinessence – before their followers developed newgrass and Redbone's twangy forebears Buffy Sainte-Marie and Rita Coolidge brought Indigenous concerns to the rock & roll arena in the 1970s. Yet don't call this project bluegrass or the purists might have a fit.

Redbone, since the establishment of her career in London and New York City, has humbly and steadfastly earned a solid reputation as a sought-after collaborator – whether in the guise of Warner Chappell-minted songwriter, behind the console guide or earnest guest voice -- amongst her peers. Working with rising comers like Brit Grammy winner Shola Ama or such legends as Redbone's Ohio Players/P-Funk mentor Walter "Junie" Morrison, she and UK-bred partner Aaron Whitby consistently provide essential direction and soulful support to knit track and artist into an indelible whole.

Thus it may come as a surprise to some that Redbone, noted for purveying the wilder shores of rhythm & blues on prior releases Home Of the Brave and Skintalk, recorded her new album in the fabled center of country music, Nashville. Yet, proudly retracing the path of her uniquely American mixed heritage back to its earliest source, she is merely taking the inevitable next step of a maverick artist who has never been chained by borders. Americana is her natural homecoming, sonic and otherwise.

The album, produced by Grammy-winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McEuen whose recent work includes Steve Martin's "The Crow", drafts in a stellar supporting cast that allowed Martha to focus on vocals and deep communion with the spirits of her ancestors, composer David Amram, Seminole elder Lonnie Harrington, and studio veterans Byron House on upright bass and Mark Casstevens on guitar. Reverence and righteous joy from sacred music animate songs like the title track "The Garden of Love", the glorious "I Rose Up at Dawn of Day," and haunting "A Dream," alongside lyrical content from the brilliant mind of Romantic visionary William Blake whose credo 'Energy is Eternal Delight' is fiercely reinterpreted for Appalachia. The album resonates with the influence of Redbone's southeastern raisin', echoing an earlier time/space through elements of folk, country gospel, stomp chants, and the high lonesome of a front porch Sunday pickin'.

The couple crafted Garden of Love between touring, producing albums at their Brooklyn studio, an ongoing foray into banjo mastery, activism, and the never-ending daily joys of raising a young son during 2011; but the album attains the heights of an imperishable artifact, due to the acute losses of her mother, aunt and other trials amidst the writing and recording process. And so, for a concept that gestated over five years, the album is still right on time – as revision of the artist's complex American heritage, as loving messages to her child heir to these roots, and a balm for audiences hungering for truth and higher meaning in these turbulent days of 2012.

In the arc of Martha Redbone's aesthetic journey, Garden Of Love represents the simultaneous retrenchment and innovation so respected in those seminal works of fellow Cosmic Americana pioneers The Byrds via Sweetheart of the Rodeo and The Band on their first two long-players, and it deserves to enter that oh-so hallowed high-tech holler. This here is thoroughly modern music but imbued with rural truth and a slowed roll that has provided sustenance to plainfolks since time immemorial. C'mon, brothers and sisters, and get yourselves back to some semblance of The Garden.

Wed, September 17, 2014
9:30 AM

The unraveling of the American Dream is at the heart of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Winner of the 1949 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, this classic drama of the down-on-his-luck Willy Loman remains one of the most haunting plays in American Theatre.

The unraveling of the American Dream is at the heart of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." Winner of the 1949 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, this classic drama of the down-on-his-luck salesman Willy Loman remains one of the most profound dramas in American theatre. Resonant themes of family tensions, deferred dreams and unfulfilled lives make up the landscape of this haunting play. Powerful and disturbing, Death of a Salesman is a modern tragedy which gives us a different perspective on the American Dream, and our obsession with material wealth and the trappings of success. Attention must be paid.
