It was a Happy Holiday for The Gordon Parks School along with 29 other schools in our District 29 community!  NY1 was there to capture the festivities.
We were the recipients of $50,000 that our Principal Harper has slated for more smartboards and computers for the classrooms.
Chief of Staff Donovan Richards came in his santa suit to spread the good cheer to all. Our students were excited and happy to tell Santa what they wanted for their school this Christmas. More money for their schools.
