There are very few nights as enjoyable as the night of Boarder Dinner. The night begins with the entire boarding community coming together for a delicious meal. After dinner, all of the boys’ dorms head out for my favorite part of the night- caroling. We first sing to the head of school, Mr. Bland, and his family, and then proceed to stop to serenade every girls’ dorm. Our dorm started practicing a week ago in anticipation of the big night. The songs are rarely traditional Christmas carols, but rather fun, popular songs that are easy to sing (Taylor Swift has always been a popular choice). This is my favorite night of the year because it is so much fun, but also because it brings the dorm together in ways few other things can. Everyone wants to be able to take pride in their performance at the end of the night, so each dorm rallies around each other to create a performance few would have thought possible out of 45 high school boys. In Wolcott, we celebrate a great performance with Chinese food and a dorm showing of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” When I’m in college next year, I will truly miss the craziness of dorm caroling and the bonding the night brings, but for the time being, I still have one more to enjoy.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
