Dear Country Village Day School community,

We are deeply saddened to share that Scott McJannet, a longtime Country Village Trustee and supporter, passed away unexpectedly on Friday.

Scott and his family became part of the Country Village Day School community in 2012, when his two sons began attending the school. Even after they moved on to the Mercer Island School District, Scott continued to serve Country Village as a valued member of our Board of Trustees.

We will always be grateful for Scott’s humor, patience, and thoughtful approach. His years of service and dedication made a lasting difference to Country Village Day School, and he will be deeply missed.

Our hearts are with his wife, Judith, their sons, and their entire family during this very difficult time.

Kids will be out of school and what better way to celebrate, than with a sing-along and teddy bear picnic in the park! Bring a blanket, a favorite ftuffy, and of course LUNCH! I'll bring the music, the parachute and bubbles, and snowballs (!)
*If you're coming from the Eastside, get off at East Mercer Way and avoid the FIFA traffic. Rotary Park is right across the street from the Mercer Island Library. The library will be closed so there wil be plenty of parking!
