Paws for Stories

The Junior School Library hosted a wonderful event for our Grade 1 readers on Friday, May 3. Each year, as part of the ‘Paws for Stories’ program, volunteers from the St. Johns Ambulance Service Dogs visit our school with their four-legged partners to enjoy some stories with our young readers.
Each Grade 1 student has the opportunity to spend time in the library with one of the dogs, to read their favourite story, to ask the volunteers questions about service dogs and to have some cuddles with some adorable animals. This activity is a perfect fit with the Grade 1 social studies unit on Community Helpers; service dogs are an important part of our community.
 
Paws for Stories is truly a highlight of the year in the library program - and the dogs love it too!

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.
