CDS Celebrates with Friends Old and New

The Country Day School was illuminated in green and blue Tuesday evening for the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Celebration of the new Dining Hall and rejuvenated Senior School. More than 250 current and past CDS parents, students, alumni, faculty and staff, grandparents and friends enjoyed an evening exploring the building which allowed them to happen upon musical performances by the CDS Senior Choir and Band, and gourmet food and beverage stations, provided by our new Dining Hall food provider.

“When our founders opened The Country Day School doors for the first time in 1972, they did so cherishing the promise of youth and the importance of education,” said Head of School John Liggett in his remarks. “Those same values are present as we officially open the most recent in a long line of new Country Day School doors. With a reverence for all the hard work that came before us, and a commitment to further advance CDS into the future, we hereby officially open our new Dining Hall and rejuvenated Senior School.”
 
Following remarks, John Liggett, Mayor of the Township of King Steve Pellegrini, and members of the Board of Directors were joined on stage by lead donors: the Mantella Family and the Niczowski, Temovsky and Arrigo Family for the official ribbon cutting. Please check out some amazing images of this event.
 
CDS is incredibly proud of how far our school has come in just 43 years, and would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for helping us to achieve this milestone!

Land Acknowledgment

CDS wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. For thousands of years, these have been the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples who also shared this land.  CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for these lands and waters for future generations.
