Dalton Halloween - Big Team Spirit with a Little Sweetness

One holiday that Dalton especially loves to celebrate is Halloween. From costumed students, administrators, and custodial staff; everyone feels the Halloween spirit. Members of the Administrative Council and First Program Administration continued their tradition by greeting parents, students and faculty in the morning as traditional and some new activities ensued throughout the day.
Sweetness prevailed at Little Dalton, where FP Director Nora Elish, Associate Directors Kelvina Butcher and Gillian Todd, Admissions Director Babby Krents, School Psychologist Debbie Tascher and First Program Assistant Paula Simmons greeted students and parents as a sweet rainbow of colorful M&M candies. 

It was team theme at Big Dalton as Quarterback Ellen Stein donned helmet and pads and passed Halloween greetings to receptive arriving students and faculty. Joining Ellen were basketball forward in warmups/Associate Head of School Jim Best; soccer coach/Middle School Director Lorri Hamilton Durbin, (Lorri's Associate Directors Tracy Fedonchik and Andrea DeJesus dressed as soccer players), and the signaling catcher/Communications Director Jim Zulakis. All were geared up in Dalton team uniforms, thanks to the accommodating Athletics Department. The team also received a surprise visit by future presidential hopeful baby Jack Neiers, son of New Lab Director John Neiers, Jack's secret service agent.
 
The Middle School library pulled out all the stops, for their traditional haunted house that included several spooky readings and the High School librarians introduced a pumpkin carving activity while dressed as Clue game characters.
