Ethan and Prthvi earned part of their qualification at Stockton's University of the Pacific, and another at the John Lewis Invitational (at which they were co-champions). They are slated to continue representing Country Day at the remaining two largest debate tournaments in NorCal: James Logan High School and UC Berkeley. Depending on their results at those tournaments, they may qualify for the Gold division of the TOC.

We appreciate the magnitude of their achievement, as it is truly a rare moment to have a team qualify for the Tournament of Champions in our Sacramento-area schools, and wish them good luck in Kentucky in April!

Our High School DECA team recently launched a spirit wear printing business to support affordable custom items made right here on campus by our students.

Our 7th graders recently researched scientific global issues and local organizations that are worthy of funding and our community support. Before the break, parents and community members took part in a Science Symposium, where the research was presented by students, and then visitors voted to support the issue that best informed them on both the scientific research and the non-profit organization.

Melissa Uroff, Country Day’s ceramics teacher, brings a remarkable artistic background to our campus. Recently featured in The Sacramento Bee for her work restoring and creating neon art with her father, Melissa embodies the power of imagination, collaboration, and lifelong learning.

Last Friday, ten of our Middle School students took part in the KidWind Challenge Jr., a hands-on wind turbine design competition hosted by SMUD and KidWind. More than one hundred students from across the region designed, built, and tested their own wind turbines in a wind tunnel while learning about renewable energy and SMUD’s 2030 Zero Carbon Plan.
