Junior School Sticks Together Quilt
The Junior School proudly celebrated Pink Shirt Day with a meaningful anti-bullying initiative centered on the theme of sticking together. Each student decorated a single popsicle stick, representing how one small act of kindness can make a difference. On their own, the sticks seemed simple and unimportant, but with the help of Grade 6 art teacher, Ms. Kuchmak, and several Grade 6 students, they were carefully glued together into a beautiful quilt-style display.
The finished piece powerfully symbolizes how our community becomes stronger, brighter, and more impactful when we stand united in kindness and against bullying. The quilt is now proudly displayed outside of the JS library as a daily reminder of our shared commitment to kindness.
Students donned their pink on our dress-down day, showing their commitment to anti-bullying and compassion. Students generously donated their toonies to help support the CKNW Kids' Fund.
The CKNW Kids’ Fund supports children facing physical, mental, and social challenges by providing grants for specialized medical equipment, innovative therapies, educational support, and essential programs. The charity also funds enrichment opportunities such as camps and community initiatives that help vulnerable children and their families access resources they might not otherwise be able to afford.
Together, our students demonstrated that when we stick together, we can make a meaningful difference — both within our school community and beyond.
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.
