Auldern And Stone Mountain
Dance Together In A
Winter Wonderland

Auldern Academy and Stone Mountain School have joined forces to create a Winter Wonderland dance for their schools. This is the third dance that the schools have joined forces for a successful school dance. The much-anticipated event first began in 2008 as an experiment to see if the two schools could successfully provide a safe and healthy interaction between the boys and girls who attend each single sex school. It has been a huge success and has lead to the implementation of regular interaction between our students.

The night was filled with excitement as the boys from Stone Mountain entered the dance. Auldern girls and Student Life Counselors had spent the day transforming the dining hall into a winter wonderland, filled with sparkling snowflakes in honor of the season. The DJ revved up the music and students joined together for an evening of dance and socialization. All students really seemed to enjoy themselves at the event.

Doug Deaton, a professional photographer who also teaches at Auldern, was on hand to capture the event for the parents of the students.

We thank the Stone Mountain staff for bringing their boys such a long way and helping to chaperone the dance. Stone Mountain will host the next event in early 2011. This is a tradition we hope continues for many years to come.
