“I felt sure that to create an environment in which children might live and grow and flourish, ‘a place in which a child’s soul and mind might be at peace,’ was the all-important thing.” - Mary Hammett Lewis, An Adventure with Children “I love Bonding Day. I get to hang out with friends from all different classes, and make new friends to start the new school year.” - Siana Singh, Grade 3 “For Bonding Day, we plan activities and do them in a carefree and fun manner - this whole day there are no classes, only joy and bonding.” - Masun Cottman, Grade 8 “Country Fair has been going on for as long as I’ve been at Park - almost 10 years - and long before. I’m always so excited when it comes around; there’s always good food and fun games, and it's fun just hanging out with my friends on a usually extremely rainy fall day.” - Maisie Hebrank, Grade 7 “Having Lower School Buddies and days like Zoo Day make the experience of being a senior here so special. Almost every Friday morning when I go to the science building for my class meeting, some of my buddies run up and hug me - they’ll trample me to the floor. It’s such a blessing.” - Kaylie Birkmayr, Grade 12 Classic Park Culture Bonding Day est. mid-2000s Zoo Day est. 1983 Country Fair est. 1930s
