JS Author Visit
The Junior School welcomed our beloved Joan Hargrave back from retirement to share her new book, Ellie Sleeps In. Students in JK, SK and Grade 1 were invited to the library to hear Joan read and sing along to several original songs she wrote to accompany the book. Both students and their teachers wiggled their bodies, snapped their fingers and clapped their hands as Joan sang and played her guitar.
In addition to meeting Joan, the students were introduced to Bill Hunter, the illustrator of the book. As students asked questions, they complimented Bill’s illustrations and inquired about how he learned to draw so well.
We are so grateful to Joan for writing and sharing such a sweet and heartwarming story about friendship with our students.

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.
