A glowing start to the school year

Palm Village, a band based out of Palo Alto, Calif., was the highlight of the Back to School Glow Party at St. Mark’s Episcopal School. The band features Clark Palmer, St. Mark’s class of 2012, and bandmate Chris Villegas. After graduating from St. Mark’s, Clark attended Strake Jesuit, and then UC Berkeley, where he studied computer science. At Berkeley, he met Chris Villegas and the two quickly connected over their love for creating music and formed Palm Village. The duo was in town to perform at Raydon Creative in the Heights and dropped by St. Mark’s for a special concert and festive celebration for students, faculty, staff, and parents. Pictured, from left, are Chris Villegas, St. Mark’s Episcopal School head of school Garhett Wagers, and St. Mark’s alumnus Clark Palmer.
