Mr. Karl Parker - The Energizer Bunny of the RB School System
Mr. Karl Parker has in the Red Bank Public School system for years. He has been at both the Red Bank Middle School and the Primary School.
I think he was a guidance counselor and I don't even know his title now at the Primary School, but this guy has so much energy
and enthusiasm.
I bet he's been here for decades, yet he never ages. He is so positive, pro-kid it is amazing.
I'm gonna stop here cause I barely know him yet I know we are great admirers of each others work as champions of Red Bank Kids.
Anyway, he walks in my showroom last week on one of those killer hot days telling me about his latest project.
He has brought in Retired New Outlook Pioneers (retired AT&T employees doing great volunteer work) are preparing backpacks for
distribution to RB Primary School kids Pre-K through 3rd grade.
So he makes up this bi-lingual flyer (with the expertise of another great Red Banker Cruz Roolaart) and is going all about town with these bright yellow flyers asking store owners to set up
collection boxes in their shops for school supplies (dictionaries, rulers, crayons, calculators, pens, pencils, color markers etc. etc.
etc.
