Day of Giving
The Day of Giving for Teachers is an opportunity for Parker parents, grandparents, and alumni to support faculty and make a gift in their honor. Now in its 10th year, the Day of Giving is a school-wide, one-day campaign to reward, retain, and recruit the people who create the Parker experience: our teachers.
