C D Country Fair: A long-standing Park community event held in October with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the United Way of Western New York. Individual classes and clubs host activity booths for visitors to enjoy. Included among the traditional favorites are the sponge toss, lemons with peppermint sticks, and the famous senior class chili. Day of Giving: Started in 2020 during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, Park’s Day of Giving has become an annual 24-hour online-based event to raise funds in support of the school with incentives, prizes, and surprises for our donors. Over the last four years, more than $225,000 has been raised for Park on this special day alone! EEarth Spirit: Working with Park for more than 30 years, Earth Spirit is an environmental group that offers a wide range of services and activities designed to help our students learn about and appreciate the environmental world around us. Some of the things our students have done with Earth Spirit include interactive programs, hikes, camp-outs, and paleontologist digs. (Pictured at the top of the page, Mr. Jon from Earth Spirit, working with our Montessori students.) Fall Play: The arts have always been celebrated at Park! The annual fall play is an Upper School-led production and should never be missed. Recent productions include Clue! and 12 Angry Jurors. F Grandparents & Special Friends Day: Guests are invited to enjoy a special morning on campus hosted by our Lower School students. Following a choral performance, attendees are taken on guided classroom tours led by their Park student. G 20
