"As an English teacher I often take kids on walks to inspire writing. One of my favorites is a ‘Color Walk’ with 7th graders, as they write down everything they see that falls under their chosen color. At the same time, they add what feelings or emotions might be associated with the color and/or object. We then construct a creative poem or writing piece that incorporates what we felt and encountered on our walk. This often results in writing with vivid imagery." - Tanya Okoniewski, Middle and Upper School English teacher “10th grade Biology completes a monthly field experience, including the Tree Identification project. Students learn how to identify trees and then study one in more detail. Then in June, they take the Kindergartners out, and each gets a tree to grow with; as Lower Schoolers advance into 1st and 3rd Grades, the Bio students take them out to collect data on their tree.” - Adrienne DeGroat, Upper School science teacher "3rd graders love to use Park's campus, particularly for science: playing tug of war and sledding to experience balanced and unbalanced forces, planting mystery seeds in the greenhouse, and tracking the changing temperature.” - Jen Crickenberger, Grade 3 teacher “The open, natural space, an unparalleled treasure - it has marked every student’s life since Hamlin turned over his vast estate for a Park education.” - Amanda Fisk MacKenzie-Hobart ‘53 Campus in the Curricula
