No One Stays the Same in The Lower School Program Of the three schools that comprise Detroit Country Day, the Lower School may well be the most dynamic, with a wide variety of activities that keep the youngsters busy and help develop both mind and body. The newest activity was ballet, taught by Miss Barbara Seaver. For many of the girls, it was their first exposure to the dance: for others it was addi- tional practice time to perfect positions and steps. Field trips to the Youtheater, excursions to the Royal Oak Farmers' Market, a day at Upland Hills Farm, and a walk at Kensington Park were only a few of the many activities offered. Add the special classroom fun and learning in French, phys ed, music, art, and science. That's the Lower School!
