About Me
- Meg
- I was Head of Robert C. Parker School from July 2003 to June 2017. I love walking the halls at school and watching the kaleidoscope of activities and the happiness and fun of the students and teachers. Parker's woods and meadows bring beauty into our lives each day. It is a great community - everyone pulling together to make a difference for children!
