Marion Recreation has announced the appointment of a new summer program director for the 2017 season. Stacey Soucy Perry will use her years of school and camp experience to offer summer program opportunities to tri-town residents. Perry has more than 20 years of experience working with children. She served as an at-risk youth programs coordinator for Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department in Florida.

After earning her master’s degree in elementary education, she began her teaching career at Coral Reef Elementary. In 1997, she returned to Massachusetts and became the enrichment teacher at Sippican School. She is currently the vice principal of West Elementary in Plymouth.

When asked what she is most looking forward to this summer, Perry said, “I’m really excited to get to work with the tri-town families again. I want parents to feel comfortable that their children will be safe and cared for while having a blast at the Silvershell Summer Program.”

Perry will be responsible for the day to day operations of the Marion Summer at Silvershell program, coordinating activities for program participants, supervising staff and organizing weekly field trips to area fun spots.
