Young Thespians

Our Elementary students have a tradition of presenting class plays every Spring. After the two excellent Productions in the past two weeks, I have been pondering the growth which takes place in students as they prepare for their roles and develop confidence and poise during the many practices. On the final night their excitement is palpable. They are a team and all must give 100% to make it the best it can be. Not unlike a sports team, the plays give students opportunities for self actualization and confidence building. I am glad that these Are a part of the traditions of Country Day School.

A Tapestry of Nations

Yesterday was our annual International Festival at Country Day. There were a total of 25 nations represented by the families of CDS. As you entered the building, you were treated to a blending of sights, sounds and smells all of which drew you from country to country to experience many new cultures in a variety of ways. It was a delight to see children and parents in native dress, all sharing their uniqueness with pride. The lively performances had us all clapping along. It was a wonderful morning which fulfilled a vision we have had for our school since it was founded in 1987, now almost 25 years ago. We are a tapestry of nations!
