Pop Can Tabs - Challenge Accepted!
At Thursday’s morning Senior School assembly, Social Justice updated the students on the progress of the pop can tab collection that has been running at the school since September.
The Social Justice members poured another batch of tabs into the collection container and then said it was worthy of an impromptu dress down day in April. Not so fast, said Mr. Viotto. He noted that there had not been any consultation with administration about this, and that, in any case, the container was not sufficiently full to warrant a dress down day. After some good natured on-stage haggling, Mr. Viotto compromised with a challenge. Fill the container up to the level he chose and the Middle and Senior Schools could earn an additional dress down day.
So there it is, CDS. Collect as many tabs as you can until the end of March and add them to the collection container in the Senior School office and see if you can win an extra dress down day. Tabs can come from canned beverages, but also from soup, pet food or tuna cans. They all count. Social Justice will donate the tabs and a cheque to the Robert Hampson Tabs For Kids Fund which purchases wheelchairs and other equipment for children in need.

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.
