“I love the shopping day for the annual Christmas Dinner, a party that all the Upper School students host for families in need,” says Parker. “The students have a short period of time to buy either food or presents for their adopted family. They energize the stores with their focused hunt for the perfect gift or the unexpected treat. Even the store employees have told us that they look forward to our shopping day every year.”
Parker graduated from Pacific Lutheran University. She joined the Charles Wright faculty in 1991. She served as the Lower School chaplain for three years. She has also participated in the Washington Aerospace Scholars program. A total of nine Charles Wright students have lived in Parker’s home, four of her own children and five
international students.
Parker enjoys exploring spiritual formation, hiking and camping. She is a member of the Pacific Northwest Association of Master Swimmers. She lived in the Sudan for five years doing linguistic research, literacy work and Biblical translation.
