Country Day LOYAL Country Day Loyal salutes and gives gratitude for the members of our community whose ongoing support helps the school strengthen programs and explore new opportunities. This year we looked back at our gift records over several decades, and we are pleased to recognize these families who have made annual gifts for 10, 15, and 20+ years. One exceptional couple, Jane and John Wheaton, are on the list of 20+ years of giving, but they’ve been giving to Country Day longer than we have detailed records! When they enrolled their son Cal in kindergarten in 1975, John joined the board of trustees just as the school was beginning its second decade. Jane served on the parents' board, wrote the parents' board newsletter, volunteered in the original hot-dog-Tuesday lunch program, and served several years on the Auction committee, eventually co-chairing the Auction. Daughter Mele started at Country Day three years after brother Cal. Now, 44 years later, the Wheatons continue to support Country Day. They tell us that, “We continue giving to Country Day because we believe in the school's superior academics and overall mission. Our children received a superb education there, preparing them well for future academic work. The school's family atmosphere, parental involvement, spirit, community efforts, to mention just a few of the positives, all work to nurture a child to strive and thrive in the future. Our gifts are a ‘thank you’ for the education our children received.”
