Friends
I am proud tonight to be part of an event that, year in and year out, is one of the best public demonstrations of the spirit of our school community. The Spring Gala is a big and fun party, but it is also a celebration of what we accomplish together each year on behalf of the students. As I look over the collected works of our students to be auctioned off this evening, I am reminded of the immense amount of creative energy that is expended every day at Country Day. Country Day is a large and diverse community. It reaches out, through the lives and travels of our students, to virtually all four corners of the world. As a community, we help dig wells in Africa, care for orphans in the Dominican Republic and bring beautiful music to churches and concert halls of Europe. We surround these efforts on our campus with the intellectual preparation it takes to understand and help reshape this complex world. As a community we also reach out to wonderful students right
Chris Schuck HEAD OF SCHOOL
here in San Diego who need help to attend Country Day, but once here enrich all our lives with their special energy and drive. With the arrival of our Spring Gala, we also mark the passage of another successful year for this school. I want to thank all of you for your part in creating this special place for our students. Country Day is an important engine of creativity in the San Diego Community and I would like to thank each of you, the Parents Association leadership, Gala Chairs Tammy Rooke and Debby Jacobs and their team for all you do to support our school. -Chris
