Inaugural CDS Relay for Life Raises $21,782
The Country Day School raised more than $20,000 at its inaugural Relay for Life held on April 27. CDS Senior and Middle School students, faculty, staff and parents walked from 3:00 to 9:00 pm around Hawksworth Track and Field in teams or as individuals.
Organized by the House Captains with support of Student Council members, CDS' first effort at hosting a Relay for Life event far exceeded expectations.
"I was so pleased to see so many students support such an amazing cause - everyone was extremely eager to participate," said Dunlap House Captain Karsen Roy '20. "None of us expected the turnout and school spirit to be this amazing. Each student contributed to such a huge cause and it was incredible to see everyone participate in raising money and awareness. I'm so proud of everyone who came out and showed their support, as everyone has been affected by cancer."

As a community, we celebrated our survivors, remembered our loved ones, and raised four times our goal relaying in the fight against cancer.

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.
