Thanks to @rappnews and @foothills_forum for featuring our work at the Schoolhouse. Have a business idea that could be a good fit? Please reach out! We have additional spaces available this spring.
"As the Saveys guide the 120-year-old schoolhouse into its next phase, they say their goal remains simple: Create spaces where local businesses can grow and neighbors can gather."

π¨Input needed!
Would you be interested in a M-F *shared* office space? Somewhere with high-speed internet, central location, and schoolhouse charm? π»ππ§βοΈ
We’re crowdsourcing input for a flex space that includes a weekday workspace for those needing reliable, fast internet, a space to focus, and/or a break from the house.
πβοΈπβοΈIs that you? Comment here or send us a message if you’d be interested in a shared office space at the Schoolhouse. We’re curious if this is a need for the community.
Pictures are of the room. Yes, mountain views included!
Do you have photos from the many iterations of the Schoolhouse? Now that the hallways are painted, we’re looking to the community to help find photos from the Schoolhouse’s history (we’ll scan and return to you). If you have any to share, please email info @ sperryvilleschoolhouse.com or message us on social media — thanks!
The Grinch may have tried to steal the Christmas tree, but he can’t take away our community spirit! π
Thank you to the Sperryville Community Alliance for conceptulizing this tradition, FFA/4-H for the food, Rappahannock students for the ornaments, and the many volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the first annual Merry Sperry a success.
Tree is up through the holidays. See you next year!
Tis the season!

TL;DR -- The sewer authority is raising rates substantially, which will impact Sperryville businesses like those at the Schoolhouse. Our LTE in this week's Rappahannock News outlines why you should care. The public comment period is Thursday, April 10 at 5:30pm at the Sperryville Rescue Squad. We hope you’ll join us.

On March 13, RCWSA proposed increasing monthly EDU fees from $60 to $88 a month (a 46% increase after a 20% increase last year) and connection fees to $15,000 for a building’s first EDU and $7,500 for each thereafter (a 100% increase in both instances).
Rappahannock residents shop, dine, buy groceries, exercise, play golf, get a haircut and massage and have their car serviced – right in Sperryville. The more a business needs to pay to exist, the more their products or services will increase for you, the customer.
We’re not suggesting that sewer fees remain the same indefinitely. But 46% and 100% increases – at one time – will impact all system users, whose investment and tax dollars contribute to the local economy, school system and community spirit. They, like the sewer system, are essential to Sperryville.
We encourage RCWSA to work with the Sperryville community to find solutions that are transparent and sustainable for everyone.

One year of getting things done & having fun!
OK, not all of it has been “fun,” but we’ve enjoyed hearing your memories of the Schoolhouse, tidying the grounds and hidden storage corners, accomplishing some visible and many behind-the-scenes updates, and understanding the scope of maintaining the historic charm while accommodating necessary modern-day improvements. Needless to say, we can’t wait to share more (and bigger!) projects in 2025.
Sneak peek at our first renovated classroom! Here, we’re welcoming @svbsalon to the second floor of the Schoolhouse, opening December 9 by appointment πβοΈπβοΈ
These pictures are merely a glimpse at the before, during, and after that will happen for each of the eight classrooms over time, giving them a fresh and consistent look. It’s fun to share updates that are not strictly behind the scenes or in hideaway areas — thanks for following the journey and come say hello!
Baked goods (and more) now at the Schoolhouse! Welcome @jackaloperidge & friends on Saturday mornings - starting today! - all winter long until @rappcofarmersmarket reopens on the lawn in the spring. Stop by, say hello, and pick up some winter comforts ππ₯π«ππ«π₯©
A quick π on an 80 degree November day. We have some announcements coming soon… stay tuned and happy fall!
We admit, it’s not the sexiest project. But who doesn’t benefit from a little dirt play and improved drainage? Now, better “backyard” parking for Schoolhouse tenants and more parking lot space for your next visit! πΈ @scottrobertalford
