FRONT COVER: Happy birthday, Park! In honor of the School’s 125th Anniversary, all 557 students and 150 members of the faculty and staff gathered for a historic panoramic photo on Tuesday, September 10. The whole school then sang “Happy Birthday” to Park, followed by a ceremonial birthday cake cutting. Head of School Michael Robinson, Betsy Ball (who has been at Park in one capacity or another since 1954!), and our youngest Pre–K student, Samora Nogueira Sanca ’24 and our oldest Grade IX student, Rohan Dhir ’14, did the honors. Because the cake was really just ‘for show,’ Park’s Food Service Manager Sean Callahan and his crew prepared 700 homemade cupcakes for everyone to enjoy!
