Our new 4th grade teacher swims, cooks, and speaks French...although probably not all at the same time.
Sydney Spiro comes to us from the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT, where she has been an assistant teacher in 1st and 4th grades, as well as the coordinator for the after-school program.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Sydney is a lifelong competitive swimmer, enjoys running, and loves to cook and bake. She has two cats and speaks fluent French. Sydney studied French literature, language, and cinema at the Université Paris VIII, Saint Denis, in Paris and then went on to Oberlin College in Ohio where she earned her BA in French and Creative Writing, with a concentration in Education.
“I'm so excited to explore the area and meet all of the members of The Country School family!” says Sydney. “I'm looking forward to getting to know my students and their families and taking advantage of all that Easton has to offer.”
Kindergarteners have been participating in a 3 part HOHO (Helping Others; Helping Ourselves) project lead by Ferris and Laura Butler. Students packed boxes to be shipped to veterans and their families. The boxes
were filled with child friendly, donated items. Also in the boxes were handwritten letters from the students along with a handmade American flag craft. The Butlers carefully orchestrated this project, and we are very grateful for their time and efforts.
Congratulations to all our spring athletics award winners and to all our Cougar athletes who participated in sports and clubs! This spring, TCS offered Boys’ and Girls’ Lacrosse, Pickleball Club, Running Club, and Volleyball Club. Providing so many athletic opportunities took a village—thank you to our amazing coaches, volunteers, and parent drivers for making it all possible! And thank you to our students for setting an example of dedication and sportsmanship!
The Country School is proud to be celebrating its 90th school year. This milestone year also marks the beginning of a new chapter with the appointment of Jay Parker as the 7th Head of School.
