SPRING FAIR A Delight for Families

A cherished Old Church Road tradition for Nursery through Grade 8 families, Spring Fair drew large crowds on May 13. The weather could not have been more springlike for an afternoon of crafts, food, lawn games, prizes, music, and lots of good old-fashioned fun—all organized by our wonderful Parents Association. The annual bake sale awarded: Most Creative, Best Use of Tiger Pride, Best Vegan or Gluten-Free, Most Decadent, Too Good to be Homemade, and new this year . . . Best Student Baker of 2022! Extending the tradition, the Upper School on Stanwich Road launched its own Spring Fair, a first-time event complete with music, games, and a food truck!

Welcome GRANDPARENTS & GRANDFRIENDS!

We were thrilled that Grandparents and Grandfriends Day returned to Old Church Road on Friday, May 6. It’s a Country Day tradition to set aside the Friday prior to Mother’s Day for children to invite their grandparents or a grandfriend to spend a morning with them at school.

Our special guests—one of the largest groups in the history of the event—enjoyed breakfast, a welcome from Head of School Adam Rohdie, a sing-along with Lower School first graders, a performance by the Middle School Band, a glimpse of our very own French Farm, our annual art exhibition— the Art of Country Day, and classroom visits.
