A Message from Mike Brown, Interim Head of School
|
Dear Canton Country Day School Families,
Next week is a busy week at CCDS!
Friday night, October 20, is our Night at the Races fundraiser. This is my first time attending this event, but I hear it is a lot of fun. Come with your spouse or partner, a group of friends, or by yourself. Either way, you are bound to have a great time and raise money for our school. Please contact us if you have any questions about this fundraiser.
Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday we have our parent-teacher conferences. We have a tight schedule and ask that you respect the beginning and ending times so that we can provide the same quality time to all of our families. Questions to ask your child's teacher may include:
1. What does my child do that surprises you?
2. What is my child reluctant to do?
3. What is a goal you would like to see my child achieve?
4. What can I do at home to support what is being done at school?
|
This Tuesday, we will be sending home the ERB test results from the end of last year with your child. This applies to all current 4th-8th grade students who attended CCDS last year. We will also be sending home information to assist you in interpreting them, however, there will be two information presentations to help you understand your child's results. These presentations will take place:
Tuesday, October 17 - 5:00-6:00 p.m. in the school library
Wednesday, October 18 - 8:30-9:30 a.m. at the Coffee with Mike
If you cannot make these information sessions, I am happy to sit down with you to help you understand your child's scores. Feel free to call the school office to make an appointment.
Have a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see you at the Night at the Races!
Mike Brown

Great Escapes Will Sell Chocolate Cougar Bars
|
In honor of this year’s Great Escapes annual fundraiser being “CCDS…Your golden ticket!”, we have Canton Country Day School chocolate candy bars (custom made from Milk and Honey) that we will sell throughout the Fall and Winter to students and families for $1. Every month, 2 students will open their chocolate bar to find a GOLDEN ticket, like Charlie did in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Because these bars are made specifically for CCDS and need golden tickets, many volunteers were on hand Thursday to wrap our version of the "Willie Wonka" Chocolate Bar, called the Cougar Bar!
If you'd like to volunteer to sell the Cougar Bars, please email Denise at
dhunt@cantoncountryday.org
to sign up! Thanks for volunteering!

The Annual Giving Campaign is made up of yearly gifts from parents, faculty and staff, the Board of Trustees, grandparents, alumni, and friends of the school. Each year is a separate drive designed to meet the operating needs of the current year. No donation is too small.

CCDS Sports
Soccer Team Update by Jerry Adams, Coach
Our Cougar soccer team celebrated two more wins this week. On Monday the Cougars looked like they had a tough fight ahead of them against Ratner, playing away at an indoor facility. At the end of the first half the score was 1-0 in favor of the Cougars. In the second half the team came out like lightning and scored another 6 unanswered goals for a victory of 7-1. Wednesday the Cougars played their last regular season game away against Old Trail. Despite the constant light rain and a slight delay in transportation, the team came out in full force. Scoring for the Cougars was Maya, Ethan, Connor, Keaton, Max, and Logan. An outstanding performance by the entire team delivered another 7-1 victory!
The Cougars finished their regular season play with a record of 9 wins and only 2 losses. We will compete in the League tournament next Wednesday, October 18, at Andrews Osborne.
GREAT JOB COUGARS!!!
Good luck in the tournaments!
Cougars at Play begins November 7th!
