That's What It's All About

Bittersweet graduation Day....7 of our students head out into their highschool years. One student started at Country Day as a two year old. What an honor it has been to educate her and see her blossom into a capable and competent young woman. We feel a part of her family and she will always be part of the Country Day Family. Other grads have overcome obstacles along the way and matured into insightful and caring people. I could not be prouder of a group than the class of 2013......Godspeed, Good Luck and much love as you make your journey in life.

25th year is now drawing to a close

Just 20 more school days left in the 2012-2013 school year. Moving on to year 26! There has been so much growth and learning all over the school. We will miss our 7 graduates and wish them well in their highschool ventures and beyond. It certainly was a year to remember in so many ways.

I eat my words!

In an earlier post, I stated that school choice or charter schools would never come to our fair state of Alabama. Now I must eat these words, and boy, do they taste good. The Ala. Legislature just passed what is called the flexibility act which provides students from failing schools the ability to transfer to private schools with tax credits and/or scholarships. This is an incredible event in the educational options for Alabama children stuck in failing schools by their zip code. We applaud our brave legislators who somehow made this happen and our Govenor for taking a stand to give these kids a chance to meet their potentials. This bill will be a landmark for our state reaching for real educational reforms. bravo! Bravo!

2013 will be a very good year

The new year is here, and with it comes hopes for renewal and justice. We know what was meant for our harm will be turned for our good in this year. Our school family has stood strong and will continue to do so in 2013. Our guiding light has been and will always be providing the very best education and environment for our students. Parents are our partners in this process which strengthens our school. Happy New Year to All! God Bless us all.
