"Before our children started Pre-K at Country Day, we could not have envisioned that the school would have such caring and compassionate administrators, faculty and coaches.  Nine years later we have come to realize that these traits are the backbone of this school and they are why our teachers do not just teach our children, they instill values and morals.  They simply care about our children's upbringing as much as we do and we are so grateful for it."

Almost 600 hornet fans filled Demere Gym for the 8th Annual Pigskin Picnic on Friday evening. While kids enjoyed face painting and performances by the cheerleaders, parents were able to reconnect and enjoy an evening of great food by Reeves Catering. Following the picnic, attendees filled the stands to cheer the varsity football team to a 38-12 victory over Atkinson Country.
Many thanks to the Booster Club for sponsoring the evening!

On Sunday, August 8th, the Parents' Association hosted a Welcome Back Picnic honoring all 2010-2011 Faculty, Staff and their families- over 150 in attendance! Nita Ann and Chris Klein along with their daughters, Grace Lang and Frances, were gracious to serve as hosts for the event.  Nita Ann's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Skipper Knight, had previously hosted this event for SCDS over 30 years ago at their home. Children enjoyed hayrides, bobbing for apples and many other fun activities. 

Many thanks to Hospitality Committee Chair, Ann Hendrix and all other Parents' Association members for helping make the picnic a huge success!
