The newly-formed Dalton Gay and Lesbian Parent Group (GLPG) hosted members of the Dalton community to celebrate LGBTQ students, parents, faculty and allies at the first Dalton Pride Picnic in Central Park on June 8, 2013. The event displayed Dalton's commitment to inclusiveness and celebration of family.
The Pride picnickers luckily escaped the week of rain with a relatively nice day in the park, sitting on blankets. Many played a rousing but civilized game of croquet and a high school a Capella group, "Alabanza," was in attendance to entertain and inspire the gathering. Students created a wonderful banner including a Dalton Tiger, complete with rainbow stripes, made with a variety of materials and paint.
