A Message from Mike Brown, Interim Head of School
|
Dear Canton Country Day School Families,
Thank you to all of the parents for taking the time to meet with your child’s teacher for parent conferences. I know the conference time goes by quickly, therefore, feel free to set up an additional appointment if you still have any questions.
Tonight is our Night at the Races Fundraiser. You are still able to sign up. This is a simulated horse race with all the fun of bidding on a horse and great company. If you haven’t had time to buy a ticket, that is not a problem. Bring cash and come to the school at 6:00 p.m. for dinner! The races begin at 7:00 p.m.
Finally, next Wednesday is our Secondary School Night from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. We will have information for a variety of high schools. All are welcome!
Have a wonderful week and enjoy this beautiful weather!
Mike Brown

CCDS Sports
Soccer Team Update by Jerry Adams, Coach
A big congratulations goes out to the 2017 CCDS Cougar Soccer team! Wednesday evening the Cougars traveled to Andrews Osborne Academy for the end of season Independent School tournament after a big send off from the students and faculty. In the first of two games CCDS played against #2 ranked Andrews Osborne Academy. Although the Cougars fought fiercely to overtake AOA, they fell short at the end of regulation and lost with a score of 7-4. Scoring for the Cougars were Ethan Weisent and Maya Burlingame. Special recognition goes out to Lauren Mounts for replacing starting goalie Nick Humphrey shortly into the first half after being removed due to injury. Lauren had many great saves during the game and stepped up to fill the role admirably.
After a brief break between games, and with Nich back at goal, the Cougars faced the Ratner Raptors for third place in the tournament. After a brutal first half the Cougars were down 1-0 and looking tired, but so were the Raptors. With a strong will to win, the Cougars took the field for the second half. A tying goal from Keaton Parker along with strong defensive play by the Cougars held the Raptors at bay for the remainder of regulation time which sent the Cougars into a ten minute overtime. They remained tied with the Raptors until about seven minutes in, when once again, Keaton placed a well timed kick into the goal to bring the Cougars into the lead 2-1. With about three minutes left, the Cougars shifted all of their efforts to defense. After battling back against a couple hard pushes to score from the Raptors, overtime ended, and the Cougars stood victorious!
GREAT JOB COUGARS!!!
A note from Coach Adams:
I am very proud of the team and all of their efforts in this year’s soccer season. You have displayed great a work ethic and a will to win throughout the entire season. You should be very proud of your accomplishments and a well deserved win at the end of our season. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work! Also, I would like to send out a big thank you to Mr. Ater for all of his hard work and effort; I couldn’t have done it without you! Finally, thank you to all of the parents and fans! Your support has been wonderful and very much appreciated. All of these things I have said above make me proud to be your coach and most of all to be a Cougar!
All the best,
Jerry Adams
Head Soccer Coach
