"We Consecrate This House With Light" - Dalton Candlelighting 2011

Students from all three divisions assembled in the Martin Theater for a beautiful Winter Solstice ceremony during which a senior recited the traditional Candlelighting poem, written by Dalton alumna Nancy Cardozo '36.
A student representative from each grade then crossed the stage to light a candle in the presence of Ellen Stein '65, Head of School, and the entire assembly. Representatives from many Dalton constituencies followed -- including parents, faculty,staff and alumni -- lending a feeling of continuity and community to the ceremony. Music throughout the ceremony was provided by the HS Chorus and Dalton's two a cappella groups.
