October 2006

Hello,
        My name is Jonathan Ehrlich, and I am a senior at The Dalton School in New York City, and Editor-in-Chief of The Daltonian, the newspaper of record of our school. In an effort to increase the representative writership of Dalton students worldwide, and to spread the concept of a free press to countries that currently experience a lack thereof, I am interested in reaching out to Dalton students across the globe to write about their experience as Dalton students. These pieces would be published in The Daltonian, and copies of the newspaper would be sent to the students' respective countries. Any help that you feel you can provide in this initiative would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
        Jonathan Ehrlich

FAREWELL MRS WILLIAMS

After 16 years of dedicated service to Ascham School, Mrs Williams will retire at the end of 2008 and all the girls who
have been in her care over the past nine years fare welled her at a special assembly on Wednesday. Mrs Williams has been an inspiration to well over 1000 girls during her time at Ascham and they wanted to express their love and appreciation by singing, playing music for her and reciting some poems which were inspired by her.

The special assembly was attended by Carolyn’s family and we are glad that they were there to see how much she is loved and admired by the girls and her colleagues.

At its conclusion Mrs Williams was given a book containing fond memories of every current Fiona student and a bromeliad to add to her collection.
