Next Parent Book Review Evening: May 16
Looking for the next good read? Interested in getting to know other CDS Parents, while discussing a great book? Why not join us for a light dinner and book review on Tuesday, May 16th at 7 PM to discuss Maame by Jessica George. This in-person discussion will be led by our Senior School Librarian, Melissa Rutledge.
According to Goodreads, "Maame (ma-meh) has many meanings in Twi, but in my case, it means woman. Meet Maddie Wright. All her life, she's been told who she is. To her Ghanaian parents, she's Maame: the one who takes care of the family."
"Smart, funny, and deeply affecting, Jessica George's debut novel deals with the themes of our time with humor and poignancy: from familial duty and racism, to female pleasure, the complexity of love, and the life-saving power of friendship. Most importantly, it explores what it feels like to be torn between two homes and cultures―and it celebrates finally being able to find where you belong."
We hope to see you on May 16th for a light dinner and discussion!
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.
