ParkSchool-PioneerMag-Winter-2024

Greetings, Park Community - 2023 was a year of notable accomplishments at The Park School of Buffalo and 2024 is progressing in similar fashion. The School has been thoughtfully making strategic investments in accordance with our strategic plan, producing results that the Park School Board of Trustees and I are proud of. In addition to double digit year over year growth, there has been substantial momentum building in a number of key areas which is fueling excellent operational and programmatic delivery. Telling our own story has been one of our most improved and strategically important areas of focus. I affectionately like to refer to this work as our “clarification campaign,” and the execution has been outstanding. Our regions best kept secret in Pre-K through 12 education is becoming less of a secret and this is driving significant interest in the School across constituency groups. In all of the ways the Board of Trustees and I measure the organization's success, it starts with a foundational understanding that the people that collectively make up the Park School community are our greatest asset. Keith and Lisa lead an incredible team of faculty, staff, and administrators that are doing the daily work to continuously build upon the long legacy of educational excellence at The Park School. These efforts have strengthened the school, nurtured a school community that is inclusive, engaging, and exceptional for student development, as well as set the stage for future important projects. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the entire Board of Trustees for their dedication and leadership in positioning Park for a thriving future. I hope to see you at one of our many on campus events and that you will join me in celebrating the everyday wins happening at The Park School of Buffalo. Jason L. Bird Board of Trustees President BOARD OF TRUSTEES UPDATE 5
