Kelly Dalton '08
Excerpt from Spring 2016 issue of The Link:
When Kelly Dalton graduated from CDS in 2008, she felt ready to take on the world. “I was one of those students who did everything,” Kelly explains. “I played on teams, I was in the jazz and concert bands and the choir, I helped backstage with the plays, and I was on Student Council. In Grade 4, I was a recess monitor. I really took it seriously. I thought, ‘I have a responsibility here. I have to look after all these kids.’ I learned that I had a passion for leadership and it really opened my eyes to what was possible for me and the direction I would want to take in life.”
Kelly credits her time at CDS for “becoming 100% myself. It was great being so involved and getting to explore so many different programs and activities at CDS. It really felt like a balanced life. I had a great understanding of who I was and the path I wanted to take in life.”
But that path ended up having many difficult turns.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
