On October 23rd, Dalton's 8th grade students, their House Advisors, teachers and parent chaperones traveled by bus to Riverside Park to clean, weed and refurbish the grounds around the woodlands restoration area and the bird sanctuary. This important project in nature conservancy and parks reclamation was very successful and the students worked hard on their assigned tasks. The House Advisors dedicated their planning and work efforts to the project and the support by the parent chaperones contributed to its success. The students began their work at 9:30 am and finished at 1:30 pm, traveling back to Dalton for a well-deserved early dismissal. The students not only worked on the grounds, they raised over $300 to purchase garden work gloves for future use by the Riverside Park Fund. The hard work by our 8th grade students has made a difference to our community and to those who enjoy the park and take pleasure in its beauty and tranquility. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. The Middle School also extends a special thank you to Debbie Scheintoch, Director of Volunteers for working closely with administration on planning this important project.
