20 “Each summer, Park Summer Day Camp staff, with the help and support from Park School staff, create a magical, fun, and rich summer experience. Park’s beautiful campus and facilities allow hundreds of children and staff to experience joy and create memories that last a lifetime. Here’s to Park Camp’s 86th season!” EMILY HANNEL Grade Teacher At Park since 2021 “A joy of Park is our studentcentered lessons. For our Thanksgiving show, the kids asked if they could design and create their own costumes and each one was beautiful, unique, and carefully crafted. Stepping back and watching the kids’ creativity and imaginations run wild always takes us to some pretty cool places.” MOLLY DROZDA Pre-Kindergarten Teacher At Park since 2004 “I come back to Park Camp each summer because I believe in the amazing experience that we offer to campers in a safe, positive, and joy-filled environment, with our exciting professional staff. We have fun everyday!” GREG SODEN Registrar At Park since 2019 “The joy I get at Park has ranged from teaching middle school to summer camp work and now to being a part of the college application process. The variety of experiences I have had in The Park School community reinforce my love of what is possible within education each year!" MAGGIE DIRRIGL Summer Day Camp Assistant Director At Park since 2022 “I see joy in the faces of our campers and their families when they pull into the circle on the first day of camp for drop off. It’s so exciting to see our campers happy and ready to greet their counselors, and our counselors are just as excited to see them! This makes me proud of all of our hard work to make Park Camp so special. “ JULIANNE LEWIS Director of College & Life Counseling At Park since 2021 “I see joy on campus when I see the PreK students playing on the playground. They are laughing and running around being in the moment and enjoying their day." “I find Park to be a beautiful and remarkable place that brings me joy every day! I witness the awe inspiring beauty of the surrounding nature as well as the happy faces and voices of the students, faculty, and staff members who all work together to make Park such a unique and special community of which I am blessed to be a part.” KATHERINE WEIS-HAYES Financial Assistant At Park since 2021 CARL LEW Librarian At Park since 2021 “It would be easy for me to simply say that I’m surrounded by truth just by virtue of being in the library most of the day. But I experience something far deeper everyday throughout Park’s campus: Park’s unique way of becoming driven by the joy of living out one’s truthseeking journey.” TERESA RICE Montessori Teacher At Park since 2022 “One busy morning, my student, Lucas, 4 years old, waited patiently, his hand on my shoulder, the way we’ve taught them, as I finished talking to another child. Aware of how much I had to do, I turned to him and said, ‘Yes, Lucas, what do you need to say?’ He looked into my face. ‘I love you,’ he said.” JOHN MIRAND Park Camp Executive Director At Park since 1996 JULIE CHAMBERLIN Summer Day Camp Director At Park since 2006 CAROLYN FELL Personal Touch Dining Hall Manager At Park since 2021 “The students spontaneously start dancing when they are in the lunch line. Everyone knows lunch is a favorite time of day, so to see little dances is so great!" “I see truth and joy daily in the bungalow, especially with our VIPs. The excitement the children demonstrate as they lead us through daily activities is pure and contagious. Watching our youngest learners grow in joyful learning and leadership is the best!!” JULIE TOPOLSKI Development Assistant At Park since 2022 “Joy is watching a group of Lower School students laughing and throwing leaves into the air while basking in the orange glow of the fall sun."
