On Saturday, May 1, Dalton students joined thousands of others around New York City in the 2021 Friendship Walk to raise money and awareness for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental disabilities (IDD).
This year's city-wide walk featured both in-person and virtual participants. Olivia McAllister-Nevins '22 and Lila Sternoff '22 led Dalton's Best Buddies Club in their effort to raise awareness for IDD.
Olivia described the event as a great experience on a beautiful spring day in Bryant Park, adding, "It was amazing to see people across all grades come out to show support for Best Buddies and help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am so proud of the work that the club has done in only its first year of existence, and this is only the beginning of Best Buddies at Dalton."
