The Booking It Project
The English department is happy to announce the start of the Booking It! initiative. This project was designed with the goal of creating lifelong readers at CDS.
The Urban Dictionary defines "booking" as "the act of leaving a book you have read in a random place for someone else to discover."
Every two weeks, the English department will highlight a member of the CDS community and their chosen book (faculty, staff, and students are all welcome to submit!). Their photo and a brief description of the book will be available for viewing at the English department bulletin board above the photocopier in the library.
Student Council President, Reese Falkenberg, was the first student to put forth her chosen title of Persuasion by Jane Austen. Students or faculty who would like to submit a book for consideration, should use the Google Form circulated, or send an email to Ms. Hudson or Mr. Dermody.
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.
