n a cold night in February, more than 40 Park alumni, past parents, grandparents, and friends gathered at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall for a spirited New York City reception. Head of School Jerry Katz spoke about current events at Park, and alumni participated in a Park School trivia contest! Many thanks to event hostess Mary Sarah Baker ’87 and to the Park-inN.Y.C. volunteers who helped to organize this festive event. If you are in the New York City area and would like to be involved in Park in N.Y.C. events, please contact Director of Alumni Relations Eliza Drachman-Jones ’98 at alumni@parkschool.org or 617-274-6022.
