Our weekly Friday morning assembly brings students, faculty, staff and often many parents together as a community. The older students remember their early school days as they watch preschoolers make announcements and lead the school in song. Younger students look up in awe and admiration as they listen to their older role models speak up, find their voice and deliver words of wisdom—or humor.
One of the main educational objectives of the Friday assembly is that CDS students become excellent public speakers. Another benefit is the opportunity to practice leadership skills, as classes take turns presiding over the assembly.
Parents are invited to attend.
