ShareBaby + Park School
Clothing and Supply Drive (now!) and Art Showcase (coming!)
In the coming months, Park is participating in the Village of Cross Keys’ “Ornaments Aglow” showcase along with 14 other area schools! Upper School students are partnering with Lower School students to transform a giant ornament that will be on display at Cross Keys throughout the holiday season. Painting began on Friday! We have identified ShareBaby (founded by two Park alumnae) as our non-profit partner — and this amazing organization will receive a generous donation from Cross Keys through our participation! Our Upper School ShareBaby club is working now to collect needed items to donate to ShareBaby and they invite the community to bring new and like-new coats (size Newborn-Kids 14), new and gently used clothing (size Preemie-Kids 14), any size diapers, pull-ups, and baby wipes to the reception desk at the entrance to the school or to Lauren Blum in the Upper School.
You are also invited to join us for the ornament unveiling and tree lighting at Cross Keys on November 18 at 5:30 p.m. Be sure to show your support for ShareBaby and Park by ranking our ornament at the top of your list when you have the opportunity to vote for your favorites! (We will share the link to vote when it becomes available.)
Thank you on behalf of our ShareBaby Ornament Leaders — Payton D. ’28, Talya G. ’28, and Emma Z. ’28
