Head of School Dear Athletes, Families and Fans, At Fort Worth Country Day, we believe deeply in the value of our students participating in competitive team sports. In this most unusual year, we are especially grateful for the opportunity, however limited, FWCD student-athletes are getting to hone their skills and to work with teammates. Our coaches have faced significant challenges navigating the COVID-19 version of each and every sport. Our student-athletes’ parents have also faced unusual challenges. To be limited to two adult fans in the stands for indoor home games means you are not getting the opportunity to celebrate your child as you are accustomed to doing. Most importantly, our students have faced their own challenges and, no doubt, have felt their traditional experience compromised. We are proud of their resilience and their ability to make the most of the opportunity. More than ever, we, at FWCD, are grateful for the simple opportunity to build a team and compete as a part of that team. We are grateful for our opponents and the opportunity they are giving us to enjoy the value of competitive sports. While we love winning, this year, in particular, we are committed to joining together, with fellow Falcons and our opponents, to cherish playing the game or swimming the race. Visit fwcd.org/athletics and click on Falcon Livestream to learn how you can see your Falcons in action at home games. Thank you for supporting our Falcons more than ever. Go Falcons.
