Donors and fourth grade students visit the demolition site of the new Lower School building.

The old Lower School building stood for over 60 years, full of childhood memories and inquisitive minds. Around 2019, Country Day decided it was time for a renovation. After years of fundraising and designing, the old Lower School building was torn down in 2023. Donors, students and teachers alike are excited for the next 60 years in the new building.

Hi everyone! My name is Lucy Wegman.! It’s my first year on staff, and I am so excited to make some great memories (and videos). In my free time I love to hang out with my friends, shop, and go to Sephora. I cheer and play tennis. My favorite part about playing tennis is spending extra quality time with my favorite brother, Jack. Italian food is my favorite. Italians are also cool, but not as cool as Rayden Liddell. I love oversized t-shirts, especially the ones from Jack's closet. If I could do something new, I’d like to learn to ride a unicycle. [email protected]

What’s up falcon flock! I'm Harrison Homan, and I’m a sophomore. I joined this class because my sister and brother were in it, and they really enjoyed it. My favorite things to do in my free are playing office idle tycoon, and playing with my squad in fortnite. I like watching Dwayne The Rock Johnson edits with my bro, Jack Homan. My celebrity crush is Sydney Sweeney, and my favorite football player is Deshaun Watson. I hope this helps everyone get to know me better. [email protected]

Hey!! I am Emmy Kate, a freshman, and this is my first time being a part of the video staff. I am currently single, so let me know if you enjoy the bio. I enjoy Sage grilled cheese paninis, but if it is not lunch time yet I will settle for a chocolate chip scones and a Sprite. If I had to be any animal I would choose a bird because I can see everything and watch over the golf course. My biggest fear is getting tiny holes in my hands. I will always request for there to be Kit Kats in the snack bucket because it is my favorite candy. I imagine myself as a second grade teacher, but if that doesn’t work, I would rather be unemployed than a surgeon because besides tiny holes, I don’t like blood. Ok that’s all, and don’t forget to email me if you enjoyed my bio.  [email protected]
