Mr. Parke, currently head of school at LaGrange Academy in LaGrange, GA, begins his tenure on July 1, 2017. Mr. Parke will succeed interim head of school Merrily Dunlap. “After an extensive nationwide search for a head of school, we are pleased that Mr. Parke will be joining us,” said Nadilee Russell, chair of The Gooden School board of trustees. “The combination of his experience as head of school, service to the independent school community, and understanding of a small and nurturing school atmosphere made him an ideal fit for Gooden.” Mr. Parke has previously served as head of the upper school and dean of students at The Altamont School in Birmingham, AL, as a faculty member at the University of South Florida and Tampa Preparatory in Florida, and dean of students at Oxbridge Academics in Cambridge, England. He received his bachelor’s degree in English from Valdosta State University and a master’s in history from the University of South Florida. In addition, he has been a presenter at regional and national independent school conferences and attended the Klingenstein Center Heads of School program at Columbia University. Mr. Parke is also an active volunteer at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in LaGrange and a Rotary Club member. ************* Founded in 1975, The Gooden School is an independent, Episcopal day school serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The Gooden School offers a firm educational foundation, using both traditional and progressive approaches. Our caring community allows students opportunities to grow in body, mind and spirit, to gain confidence, and to discover their unique gifts.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT EYE HEALTH (StatePoint) Did you know that doctors now recommend that children as young as six months old should have their first comprehensive eye exam? And not only is correcting vision problems crucial for happiness and success, but an eye exam can detect such health problems as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Experts say eye care should be a lifelong commitment, with eye exams beginning in infancy and progressing at different intervals as you age. Unfortunately, visits to the eye doctor can be a financial hurdle for families without vision insurance. To help these families overcome this obstacle, the vision care experts at VSP have built a free online service at vsp.com where you can now find eye doctors and affordable vision plans. “Little eyes are precious things to protect, and ensuring our kids can see well grants them not only a richer view of the world, but better tools to learn,” says Tracie Fobes, the blogger behind Penny Pinchin’ Mom. “Thankfully, we have great vision insurance, and keeping up on our kids’ vision care has not been a financial burden.” We’d like to hear from you!
