CDS Parent Book Review Returns for Another Year
It was wonderful to connect with returning and new book lovers at last night's Parent Book Review. CDS Senior School Librarian, Melissa Rutledge, led a lively discussion on the summer reads The UnWedding by Ally Condie and I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue. After a lighthearted discussion about favourite characters, plot holes and connections to our own lives, all agreed I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue was the fan favourite.
The next Book Review will take place on Monday, October 21st at 7:00 pm. These evenings are a great and casual way to meet other parents that have a love for reading and books. Everyone is welcome - whether you are an avid reader, or a weekend critic!
The book chosen for the next gathering is James by Percival Everett. This book is a modern day retelling of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, a runaway slave about to be sold. It is a story of dignity and reclaiming his identity as they adventure down the Mississippi River.
We look forward to seeing you a the next Book Review! Please let us know if you will join us!
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
