NYOS Girl Scouts

Selling Cookies After School

Support our NYOS Girl Scouts, Teachers and Staff: Cookie Booths Are Here!

Girl Scout Cookie Season is in full swing, and we’re excited to announce that NYOS Girl Scouts will be hosting cookie booths on campus after school!

When: Weekdays, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Where: NYOS Campus, Outside, near the Gym

This year, our Girl Scouts are continuing a wonderful tradition: collecting donated cookie boxes for NYOS staff! Families can purchase cookies at the booth and choose to donate a box (or more!) to show appreciation for community heroes: our hardworking teachers and staff.

How to Participate:

  • For Girl Scouts: Parents can sign up their NYOS Girl Scout for a booth time slot by filling out the [Cookie Booth Sign-Up Sheet]. 
  • For Families: Stop by after school to purchase your favorite cookies and, if you’d like, donate a box for NYOS staff!

We appreciate your support in helping our NYOS Girl Scouts develop entrepreneurial skills while fostering a spirit of gratitude for our amazing NYOS community.

Thank you for supporting this sweet initiative!

PAX Foreign Exchange Students

Would you host a foreign exchange student? I work with a non-profit that helps high school students from around the world come to the U.S. to learn about our culture and what it is like to be an American teenager. They come for a semester or school year.

As a host, you would choose the student that you think would be a good fit for your family...gender, country, language, hobbies. You provide a bed, 3 meals a day and reasonable transportation.

We are currently looking for families for the 2025/26 school year. They arrive in mid-August. For information please contact: pax.audreyhandelsman@gmail.com or go to pax.org/families
