Grandparents’ Lunch & Learn
Wednesday, April 15 • 12-1:30 p.m.
Come join us for lunch, conversation, and a hands-on exercise led by Upper School Principal Traci Wright and several of Park’s Civil Rights Trip student participants. Since 2004, students and faculty from Park School and other Baltimore area schools, including Baltimore City College High School and City Neighbors High School, fundraise, study, and prepare for a trip through the South visiting sites and meeting people that were – and are – important to the Civil Rights Movement. What they experience is used as a springboard for discussion about activism and ways we can tackle current civil rights issues in Baltimore and beyond. We’d love to have you be part of this dynamic conversation, so please register HERE to reserve your spot! All grandparents are invited to attend, whether you’re a regular attendee or thinking about joining us for the first time. For questions, please contact Jess Loria in our Development office at [email protected] | 410.339.4174.
