  STATE COLLEGE FRIENDS SCHOOL

neighbors and friends at foxdale village

Foxdale Village, a Quaker-directed continuing care retirement community, is located on the property adjacent to the Friends School. This close proximity has made it possible for our students to enjoy many inter-generational activities with residents who have talents, stories, and wisdom to share.

Foxdale residents have volunteered as classroom helpers for students who need a little extra attention in math or reading; they help keep our library organized and updated, and they serve as Reading Buddies for our emerging readers.  Our students love to perform plays and sing for residents in the beautiful Foxdale Auditorium, and we've even had performances there with our mixed choirs.  From our spring Grandparents, Family & Grandfriends  day to  the annual Halloween Parade to Foxdale, we love sharing time, space, gardens, laughter, and love with our Foxdale neighbors. 

"As a resident of Foxdale Village, I am delighted to have State College Friends School so nearby. I enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to be a volunteer at the School (right now helping children with their reading and math in one of the K-1 classes). I feel that the inter-generational relationships have been and will continue to be very beneficial to both the School and Foxdale. The educational opportunities provided by the School are certainly a great benefit to the entire State College community."  Resident of Foxdale and friend to students at Friends School

"I love that my Nana lives next door to my school.  She is my real Nana, but I also have my Reading Buddy who has been like another Nana to me."   
2nd grade student at Friends School
