The Affiliated High School of Peking University's Dalton Academy
Soccer Cup Tournament
Every year for the past 11 years there has been an inter-house soccer tournament at the Affiliated High School of Peking University. Similar to the PKUS Basketball Tournament, the Soccer Cup Tournament corrals all of the students from the school together in a joint appreciation of athletics. Defender on the Xinmin house soccer team, Li Weidong, shared his favorite moment of the first game, "(my favorite moment was when) our captain weaved his way through three Zhizhi house defenders and shot the ball into the top right corner of the goal." The result of the first game was a 5-3 win for Dalton Academy's Xinmin House over the main school's Zhizhi House.
The Inaugural Dalton Spirit Week
The inaugural Dalton Spirit Week was held the week of November 22 2021. It hosted a wide array of events including: The French Culture Exhibition, Blackout Poetry, the first Rock Talk, and a student-faculty sports day among others. The week was imagined by Mr. Alex Sicurella and Dr. Sean Toland who sought to provide a replacement for the Experiential Learning Project (ELP) week which was postponed due to a resurgence of virus cases. Faculty and students alike worked together to make batches of lemonade out of this originally unfortunate batch of lemons. Click the slideshow to the left to read a full recap of the week!
