As the lights dimmed at 566 Columbus Avenue, home to Dwight’s Performing Arts Center, audiences took their seats and anticipated the chaotic, comedic journey they were about to embark upon in this fall’s Mainstage Theater Production of The Liar by Carlo Goldoni.

On the basketball court, in the pool, and on the track, our scholar-athletes spent the winter competing ferociously, making us roar with Lion pride!

Earlier this school year, we were delighted to welcome back some of our Dwight Alumni from the classes of 2023 and 2022 to speak with current tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students about their collegiate life thus far and how Dwight prepared them for their newest journey.

This past week, the Fashion Exhibition group took a field trip to a few different "fashion-forward" locations to help the students prepare for their PYP Exhibition projects.

Since last fall, Alicia Blandon, Swimming Instructor at Dwight School Athletic Center, has been working with three-year-old Lili weekly to improve her swimming.

The "Is He Dead?" cast have eagerly been at work rehearsing for the fast-paced play quickly approaching in December!

The music department was delighted to welcome Out Of The Blue (OOTB), an all-male a cappella group from Oxford University, UK to Dwight School this past Monday. The group was able to make a stop in the Quad on their international tour to bring humor, fun choreography, and a love of music to our students and faculty. After singing some Taylor Swift and Beyonce, the boys gave a Q&A and talked about their experiences as semi-finalists on Britain's Got Talent. Everyone had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the group's performance!

Timothy House presents Dwight's brand new "Random Acts of Kindness" wall! With the completion of this year's Life Skills curriculum over the past ten weeks, Timothy House students have been collaborating to create pieces for our new space. Students have written sentences, slogans, designed stickers, and brought in news articles – all with the theme of "kindness" in mind. Faculty and staff members have also made contributions to the wall as well. What a positive piece of art to add to Dwight's halls. We hope you will stop by and take a look for yourself!

Recently, Polly Shulman, author of "The Grimm Legacy" and "The Wells Bequest," visited our seventh grade English class!

In late October, the seventh graders presented their "Weather Museum" for guests from Timothy House as part of their current MYP unit on weather, climate and the atmosphere.

Senior Calvin Solomon, a talented composer, was commissioned to write a piece for our global Carnegie Hall concert, in keeping with this year's theme "Music of the Seasons."

Students in the 1A, 2A, and 3A classes recently submitted entries in Google's "Doodle 4 Google" contest! Doodle 4 Google is an annual program that invites K-12 students in the United States to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign their homepage logo for millions to see. Students either drew their submissions by hand or on the iPad. This year's theme is,"My Best Day Ever..." Our students truly got creative with their submissions!!

What an exciting day in our 1C classroom!

Congratulations to all of our terrific students on moving up a grade! We hope you all have a fun and safe summer, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
