Letter From the Editors, Issue 2
Heigh-Ho, Parker!
Happy County Fair! We hope that the first month of school has been nothing but smooth sailing! We are super happy to share this issue with not only the upper school students, parents, faculty, but the entire Parker community.
Colonel Francis Parker’s birthday is around the corner—read Emma Manley’s article to learn about the life of Parker on page 11.
In addition, check out Molly Taylor’s riveting piece on sexism that is prevalent in Parker sports. A huge thank you is in order for all of our staff including writers, editors, photographers, and advisor!
Happy reading!

About the Writers
Sammy Kagan, Editor-in-Chief
Sammy Kagan is excited to spend his senior year as Editor-in-Chief of “The Weekly.” He enjoys frequenting the cheese section at Jewel-Osco and hates stiff blue jeans. Sammy proudly wears a blue and white string bracelet on his left wrist which reads “WEEKLY,” despite constant assurance from his friends that such an accessory is wildly embarrassing. Ask to see it; he made it himself.
Avani Kalra, Editor-in-Chief
Avani Kalra is a senior and is ecstatic to be serving as an Editor-in-Chief of “The Weekly” this year. Previously, Avani has served as Editor-in-Chief in her junior year, a Copy Editor in her sophomore year, and a Staff Writer her freshman year. When not working on “The Weekly,” (which is rare) Avani can be found catching up on sleep... so don't call her with an AP style question.
Sophia Saker, Editor-in-Chief
This year is Sophia's fourth and final on "The Weekly." She is beyond excited to serve as "Editor in Chief," and can't wait to lead the staff into another great year. In previous years she served as Features Editor, Copy Editor, and Staff Writer. She also co-led the "Journalism and Society Today" symposium last January. Over the summer, she knit a full-length scarf in one week.
