  3. Go Park! We have so many talented students in our public schools. These students are not limited to Park, but encompass all of our public schools. I am proud of all of you, for you are the future of our country. Keep going! I am an old geezer, but have optimism that the youth of our city and country will propel the United States into a positive future.
