  • Interact Club Co-Hosts Healthy Food Drive

    On Saturday, March 27, the SCDS Interact Club partnered with Feed the Hungry and The Rotary Club of Savannah to host a healthy food giveaway. Students, parents, and community members packed and distributed food to 1,500 residents of West Savannah and Hudson Hill.  Interact Club President Charlton Strong ’22 commented, “This year the Interact Club has focused on the dangers of food scarcity across the country. With Savannah's Rotary Club's guidance, we were able to locate and connect with food deserts around us, one of which is in West Chatham. The healthy food drive is a step towards combatting systemic hunger, and we will continue working to demolish the root of the problem that plagues both our community and the country.”

"What I loved most about Country Day was the support that we always got from the faculty… The confidence and ease to initiate contact with some of the most influential professors in the fields was something that Country Day taught me very early on and something that I have used extensively in my time here at Stanford."
Kim Nguyen, Class of 2011
"In my business (as a NASA engineer), we have to launch a rocket within an extremely tight window that's just minutes long because small deviations at that early, fiery moment have an enormous impact on the ultimate destination of the spacecraft. I believe that my time at SCDS, though brief and more than twenty years ago, continues to have a similar impact on my life."
Jeff Norris ‘94
"This school taught me how to think for myself while at the same time considering--and being respectful of--the thoughts of others. SCDS challenged me to think globally, to discern the devil in the details, and to unabashedly ask questions about the things that I didn’t understand.  The myriad of clubs one could join, the access to the arts of many disciplines, the many sports teams – all created an environment that allowed the students intellectual independence, creativity, innovation, a strong sense of self, as well as collegiality."   
Joseph Conyers ‘99
"A Country Day education will give you the tools you need to succeed anywhere in the world."
Richard Schulze, Jr. ‘80
