Students Spread the Warmth for Inn from the Cold
In the midst of a very busy month, the Social Justice Club wanted to take on an impromptu initiative that was meaningful, but would fit naturally into the school schedule. The group came up with the theme of ‘Spread the Warmth’ as we bid farewell to the fall term and heading into the cold months. This is a time when people naturally seek out more warmth and comfort and Social Justice wanted students to consider the more vulnerable who also need these things.
The group worked with the Student Council to highlight yesterday as ‘Spread the Warmth Day’ where students could wear warm, fuzzy sweaters or flannel shirts with their uniform. At lunchtime in the Senior and Middle Schools, Social Justice stayed with the theme of warmth and sold hot chocolate. And did they ever sell!
The group sold out its full complement of hot chocolate to eager students, nearly 200 cups. Hot chocolate could either be purchased or received in exchange for clothing donations. The money and clothing will be donated to Inn From The Cold in Newmarket.
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.
