These are not accidental developments, but are intentional, core parts of our mission, dating back more than 112 years. I am so incredibly happy to share with you what it truly means to be a Park Pioneer today, while highlighting all the accomplishments and milestones that Park has embedded into our community over time. In just one day, our lively campus offers a busy, exciting schedule from PreK all the way through Upper School. Kindergarten friends enter the Field Station holding hands with their puddle boots on, ready for a science lesson about fall ecology. Grade 4 students are fully engaged with our Artist in Residence, Mark DiVincenzo, working on paintbrush techniques and “plein air painting.” Passing the 3D lab, Grade 8 students are seen discussing their printing plans in teams. Seniors are busy in their Forensics elective comparing fingerprints for DNA analysis. The above is representative of how experiential learning, especially tied to the outdoors, allows Park students to learn in their own ways, by trying and failing, and by collaborating with their peers on projects that tie them directly to this beautiful campus we all share. And because we do this work together as often as possible, Pioneers quickly learn, understand, and value the benefits of working in partnership with others. This all leads to learning that is engaging, long-lasting, and fun. Stop by to see us and get in on the action! Warmly, Director of Athletics Turner Battle tbattle@theparkschool.org View our Board of Trustees at: theparkschool.org/schoolboard Lisa Conrad Head of School Lisa Conrad is The Park School of Buffalo’s 20th Head of School and only the third woman to hold this position in the school’s 112-year history.
