As a school, we teach about implicit biases, inequality, justice, and discrimination.
For many years, Parker has supported programs such as the Umoja Gala and Multicultural Festival, integrating our students with members of that community through the arts, and service for those events. Moving forward, we are developing curriculum that will further advance our understanding of these issues. Through these efforts and our service program we hope to not only educate our own students and families, but through our service work integrate our efforts within the larger Concord community. Please watch for our future notifications. We welcome community involvement. Please reach out to us if you would like to join us in our efforts.
Dave Parker, as member of the Concord School Board, sits on a subcommittee focus group of community members looking to address racism and intolerance in the community.
In the true spirit of giving the middle school students have spent the past few weeks making scarves to hand out. They designed and created scarves for those who are cold and in need this winter. The students went downtown and tied the scarves to trees and posts for those who may want or need them.
‘State House Scarves’ or ‘Scarvesgiving’ has been a Parker Academy tradition held for many years and we hope to continue giving back to the community throughout the year.
