Giving in the Senior School this Season
This holiday season, the Senior School will be giving to two wonderful organizations: Yellow Brick House and Senior Wish Association.
Yellow Brick House is an organization in York Region dedicated to supporting women and children impacted by domestic violence. They provide critical services such as emergency shelter, counseling, and legal advocacy to help survivors rebuild their lives. The organization focuses on fostering safety, empowerment, and hope for a brighter future. Yellow Brick House has requested items such as gift cards, winter clothing, kitchen items/supplies.
Senior Wish is an organization that has a goal of alleviating the loneliness and isolation that seniors may experience. The holidays can be a difficult time for those who may spend the holidays on their own in retirement homes, long term care homes, or hospitals. Our hope is that these individuals can feel special this season. Items to consider bringing for Senior’s Wish are blankets, slippers, sudokus, candles, refillable water bottles, mugs, etc.
Each homeroom is responsible for bringing items for the charity of their choosing to help make the holiday season brighter for these individuals.
Items brought in for donation can be placed in designated boxes in students' homeroom classrooms. All items are due by Friday, December 13th. Also, we kindly ask that any gift card donations be handed in to the Senior School office.
Thank you in advance for your support with our holiday giving drive. We, in the Senior School, are excited to support these fantastic organizations and make a difference in our community!
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.
