DEDICATION

It is with deep gratitude that we dedicate The Park School Anthology for the 2022-2023 school year to Debbie Henry.

Over the past 22 years, no member of the Park community has had so profound an impact on student success as Debbie Henry. As the Director of Academic Support, Debbie helps make Park a place where every child can grow and shine. Through consistent meetings with families, teachers, administrators, learning specialists, and doctors, Debbie creates structures of support and care that ensure every student’s needs are seen, respected, and met. The impact of Debbie’s work is felt in every classroom at The Park School and on every page of this Anthology.

Debbie helps students of all ages feel confident on their assignments and proud of their accomplishments. One student who works closely with Debbie described her as “funny, determined, busy, and always smiling.” It is with this joyful and powerful intentionality that Debbie Henry has guided the Academic Support program and the students and teachers at Park for 22 years. As she journeys into her next adventure, we send her off with our sincerest thanks for all she has done, we wish her days full of laughter and continued learning, and we leave her with these words of appreciation from Park Upper Division students whom she has impacted:

“Thank you so much for helping me. I wouldn’t be where I’m at now without you. You’ve been a huge help.”

“Ms. Henry always makes me laugh. She is very helpful. I wish her well.”

“Ms. Henry is amazing. She’s there whenever you need her. She is a great person overall, and I am thankful to have had her during my time at Park.”
