We are grateful to all donors who help make these grants possible.

Wisconsin-Whitewater Loyola graduates part of soccer championship team Megan Kurtz, of Wilmette, and Anna Perona, of Chicago, both graduates of Loyola Academy, are part of the women’s soccer team that clinched its seventh Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Posted to WilmetteBeaconDaily.com 6 days ago Posted to WilmetteBeaconDaily.com 1 day ago NSCDS brings back Work Day tradition in honor of centennial Submitted by NSCDS Dig Day, later known as Work Day, was one of North Shore Country Day’s earliest traditions, beginning in the 1920s and continuing into the late 1990s. Last week, it made a comeback in the form of a special Centennial Morning Ex on Nov. 6. After a brief presentation by School Archivist Siera Erazo and Director of the Live+Serve Laboratory Drea Gallaga, students joined their buddies outside to symbolically participate in tree plantings around campus. Each buddy group was assigned to one of seven trees, which were already in place, and buddy pairs used trowels, shovels and other tools to fill the holes with dirt. Gallaga, who also teaches Upper School English and social studies, talked about how service has changes through the life of the school. “What does service mean now and how do we care for our campus? Because that’s really what regular season championship in the last 10 years recently. Kurtz is a freshman majoring in communication sciences and disorders. Perona is a junior majoring in integrated science. Tufts University Residents begin studies Dig Day was — a way of caring for our physical spaces,” he said. Since the school’s conception, North Shore Country Day has emphasized the importance of service. The first Dig Day on record was on April 20, 1922. According to the 1922 yearbook, students were all assigned different tasks, ranging from sorting and cataloguing library books and cleaning out cupboards to painting flag poles, raking leaves, planting grass and even building a rabbit hutch. The following school year, the students adopted “Live and Serve” as the school’s motto. Community life and “the desire of the child to be of use to other members of his group and to his group as a whole,” was of critical importance to Founding Headmaster Perry Dunlap Smith and integral to the progressive education theory of the time. Lynn Williams ’25 reflected on Dig Day at Smith’s memorial service Annabelle Gross, of Wilmette, and Jae Hwan Choi, of Kenilworth, began their academic careers as undergraduate students this fall.
