Volunteer Orientation Kicks off Parent Appeal

Thanks to all of the volunteers that attended the training meeting Wednesday. We had a good turnout. Dr. Macrae gave a brief introduction and story about a recent “country day moment” that meant a lot to him and helped all of us understand why the Annual Fund is so important. Nick did an excellent job of walking through the approach this year. You can find a link to the Volunteer Handbook on this page.

Faculty Appeal a Huge Success!!!

Congratulations to the wonderful CCDS Faculty on achieving 100% Participation in the Annual Fund. A special thanks and recognition goes to the Faculty and Staff Annual Fund Volunteers that helped spread the word about the important work the Annual Fund does and inspired their colleagues to make their own commitment. This year, the Lower School Team led by Ann Gardner achieved 100% Participation first in what many think may have been record time. (We are still checking the record books, and will get back to you.) Thanks again to all Faculty and Staff for their incredible support!
