Save the date - town hall meeting on gun violence
Hi everyone, we are 10th and 11th graders at Park who wish to enact change because of the gun violence we are seeing across the nation. Due to this, we will be hosting a town hall open to all parents and students on Thursday, June 2 at 7 p.m., via zoom. The goal of this is to open discussions about what we as a community can do about gun violence in Baltimore and in Maryland. We hope you join us in our effort to advocate and combat against it. A link will be sent out in a future email to all parents, students, and teachers. We also invite everyone who receives this email to invite other students and teachers from outside of our Park community to join.
