Did You Know CDS has a Bearded Dragon named Crunchy?
Yes, it's true! Ms. Vipond adopted Crunchy from Tails and Scales when she was just a baby. That was three and a half years ago, and now she has a permanent home in the SK classroom.
Formerly a Grade 1 teacher, Ms. Vipond would always do a unit on reptiles for her students, often culminating with a visit to Reptilia in Vaughan. During COVID, they couldn't do that and when Ms. Vipond inquired about borrowing a pet, the folks at Tails and Scales offered to donate a bearded dragon named Crunchy instead.
Crunchy now spends her days in a beautiful window box overlooking the playground and her summers in Ms. Vipond's home. Blueberries are one of her favourite snacks and the SKs love holding her during activity time. They have learned to be very respectful, and Crunchy is gentle and sweet in return.
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.
