“IMAGINE” Video
The International Gala and Auction Committee invited a new tenth grade student, Daphne Schuller ’08, to produce a video about this school year at Dwight for her Tenth Grade Personal Project. And she accepted! She has spent the past 5 months working on the film and hopes to enter it in documentary competitions. The film will be centered on The Dwight School and will be tied together with John Lennon’s song, Imagine. “I chose to tie it all together with this because the John Lennon Memorial is near our school and the theme in this song is rela tive to Internationalism. Also, this is the 25th anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination. Community and service are also relevant to my personal project. I have focused on the Dwight community and how everything ties together into one film. I also think that environment plays a part in my project because school plays a major part in our lives and becomes a second home. Since my project is a documentation of our ‘second home’ it fits into this category.” – Daphne Schuller ’08 Enjoy watching her film tonight. Place your order for IMAGINE and capture the 2005-2006 school year forever!

For that reason, each vintage is unique with different varietal blends reflecting the vineyard and climate conditions of that particular year. “The dense, opaque ruby/purple color exhibits great saturation and intensity, and the nose is beginning to offer up smoked herb and ripe cassis aromas. Great saturation and intensity...smoked herb and ripe cassis aromas. In the mouth, the wine is deep...with excellent concentration, and one of the longest, richest finishes I have found." - Robert Parker. Wine can be delivered to the winner with one week’s notice.

Film Choices:
Barn Yard – 2006* (www.barnyardmovie.com) A hilarious look at what really happens in a barnyard when the farmer’s back is turned. Barnyard is a lighthearted tale centering around Otis, a carefree party cow, who enjoys singing, dancing and playing tricks on humans. Unlike his father Ben, the respected patriarch of the farm, and Miles, the wise old mule, Otis is unconcerned about keeping the animals’ humanlike talents a secret. But when put in the position of responsibility, the “udderly” irresponsible cow finds the courage to be a leader. Charlotte’s Web – December 2006* (www.charlotteswebmovie.com) Help is coming from above this Christmas! The classic story of loyalty, trust, and sacrifice comes to life in this live-action adaptation. Fern is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him, the runt of the litter, into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures – a spider named Charlotte – and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur’s days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte – who sees miracles in the ordinary – spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is “some pig” and worth saving.
Flushed Away – November 2006* (www.flushedaway.com) Flushed Away is a madcap comedy set on and beneath the streets of London. Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust “society rat” who lives the life of a pampered pet in a posh Kensington flat, complete with two hamster butlers named Gilbert and Sullivan. When a common sewer rat named Syd comes sprewing out of the sink and decides he’s hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the whirlpool. Syd may be an ignorant slob, but he is no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer world of Ratopolis. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising scavenger who works the sewers in her faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. Roddy immediately wants out, or rather up; Rita wants to be paid for her trouble; and speaking of trouble, the villainous Toad – who royally despises all rodents – wants them iced…literally. The Toad dispatches his two hapless hench-rats, Spike and Whitey, to get the job done. When they fail, the Toad has no choice but to send to France for his cousin – that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog. *Release Dates subject to change

J. MENDEL CORAL-DYED SILVER FOX BOA WITH SATIN RIBBON
This gorgeous coral-dyed Boa is from J. Mendel’s collection of timelessly elegant designs. J. Mendel spans a history of five generations, beginning in 1870 with Joseph Breitman, furrier to the Russian aristocracy. Breitman founded a small family company to service an elite clientele, established on the premises of extraordinary luxury, exceptional quality, and unparalleled style. J. Mendel designer Gilles Mendel has radically changed how we understand fur, transforming what was once thought of as formal and heavy into a precious fabric – feather light, form fitting and surprisingly adaptable. Unhampered by the conservative reverence towards costly skins shared by many of his peers, it was Mendel’s willingness to shear, slash and reconstruct materials like sable, mink and broadtail that breathed new life into his field, renovating a baroque idea of luxury and attracting a younger generation of clients on fashion’s cutting edge. Be one of his clients and wrap yourself in this beautiful, unique silver fox Boa! Courtesy of Antonella Calastri Value: $2800

Internship in the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics WITH Milton H. Werner, Ph.D., Head of Laboratory An incredible, PRICELESS internship opportunity in the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at Rockefeller University has been donated to our International Gala and Auction again this year. Dr. Milton Werner, father of a second grade student at Dwight and a Professor and Head of the Laboratory, has donated this summer internship in the state-of-the-art biomedical research laboratory under his supervision. www.rockefeller.edu/labheads/werner/ The internship will run from June-August (dates to be set to fit the student’s schedule), and the student will have the opportunity to conduct research in cancer biology, human biochemistry and molecular biophysics. The student will be a full-fledged member of the laboratory and learn how to carry out many basic experiments in biomedical research and to report on his/her results. It is an unpaid internship. The University has some rules governing young people working in laboratories. The first is that the student must be at least 16 years of age. The student will have to spend a full day in the laboratory 5 days per week throughout the program. This internship is only available to current Dwight Students. You cannot buy this internship. If you have a child who is interested in this opportunity, they must apply for this internship through The Dwight School Science Department. The recipients from the last two years are both attending Johns Hopkins University! Please Note: If the parents of the child who is awarded this opportunity would like to make a donation to The Dwight School Scholarship fund, they are encouraged to do so, though there is no requirement or obligation.
