Hats Off to Country Day

March 22, 2024, was a festive day for the Fort Worth Country Day community with Founders’ Day activities for students, faculty and staff during the school day and the lively Hats Off to Country Day soiree for families and the broader FWCD community took later that evening. More than 400 current and past parents, faculty and staff, and alumni gathered at Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall in the Stockyards to celebrate FWCD’s 60th birthday.

“It was a fabulous evening celebrating the School’s 60th anniversary filled with a live auction, Big Board and Hat Pull. Le Freak was a huge hit with the party-goers,” said Katie Semple, PFA President. The evening was an overwhelming success! We could not have done it without the leadership of Co-chairs Angela McDonald and Regan Haggerty and their fabulous committee, our PFA Treasurer Bridget Wysong, all the sponsors, and everyone who came out that night! It was a party that will be long remembered!”
