Twelfth Grade Parents Enjoy End-of-Year Celebration

Jim Best and the Senior Class Gift Committee hosted an end-of-year celebration for all 12th-grade parents on Wednesday, May 1, which included student-led tours of the renovated floors at 89th Street and a special preview of Dance Theater Workshop (DTW) in the beautiful, new dance studio.
In his remarks, Head of School Jim Best thanked parents for their time, energy, advice, and support. He also encouraged the community to "leave Dalton better than when we found it" by supporting the Class of 2019's Senior Class Gift – the Endowed Financial Assistance Fund. Senior Class Gift Chairs Steve Cohen, Lori Davis-West, and Julie Turaj thanked Jim for his leadership over the past 13 years and expressed gratitude for the joyful experience of watching their children "become curious, thoughtful, confident individuals" during their time at Dalton.

The Chairs urged every parent to help the Class of 2019 "make its mark on Dalton as the school advances into its next century" with a stretch gift to both Dalton’s Annual Fund and the Senior Class Gift before Arch Day (June 6). Instead of two separate gifts, Senior Class parents were asked to make one donation, which can, for example, be allocated 75% to the Annual Fund and 25% to the Senior Class Gift. 

As of today, 47% of the Class of 2019 have already supported both initiatives thanks to the tireless support of the Senior Class Gift Committee. A special thank you to Chairs Steve Cohen, Lori Davis-West, and Julie Turaj, and Susan Cersovsky, Stacie Johnson, and Cecilia Vonderheide for their dedicated efforts.
