Being Part of a Supportive Community By Nancy Carey Cassidy P ’13, ’15 President, Albany Academies Parents Association Barnes & Noble Book Fair Each school year brings new challenges and opportunities. As we prepare our students for another successful year, so we must also prepare ourselves, as parents, to be supportive and a vital part of the Academies’ community. This year has already been a busy one as we welcomed hundreds of new families to Albany Academy for Girls and The Albany Academy. Our new Admissions Ambassador Committee – comprised of parents – was very helpful with making calls, sending emails and adding a personal touch to the experience of our new families. The involvement and support by so many people have been remarkable. Just this year, the Albany Academies Parents Association assisted with or sponsored: • The Back-to-School Picnic that brought out nearly 300 parents, students and faculty • Special receptions for the parents of seniors at Albany Academy for Girls and The Albany Academy • Spirit wear sales comprised of hats, shirts, stadium chairs, shorts, and sweatshirts to encourage school spirit • Potluck events for various classes at the home of Head of School Dr. Douglas North and his wife, Dr. Ellen Cole • Grandparents & Special Friends Day that welcomed nearly 400 grandparents and special friends of our Lower School students • The annual Fashion Show & Luncheon that brought together 150 parents, past parents, and alumnae for an afternoon of shopping, socializing, and seeing the latest of fashions • An Open House that welcomed 90 prospective families to our campuses • The annual Innisbrook giftwrapping sale • The Barnes & Noble Book Fair that provides books for classrooms and another opportunity to bring our community together, all to raise funds for the Distinguished Author Series • The annual staff and faculty luncheon In addition, the AAPA provides support for other important initiatives and programs in the classrooms. Special speakers, authors and musical instruments – along with support of our language department and international students – are just some of the requests that have been funded for the year. We encourage all parents to get involved, provide feedback, and offer their talents. There are several new councils still being formed or revamped such as the Library, Athletics, Arts and International Councils. We are trying to create a forum at our monthly meetings that educates parents about topics that impact their children. This will continue throughout the year and we welcome your suggestions. The Albany Academies continue to be a special community. Thank you for all that you do and for your support. Have a wonderful holiday season and a healthy New Year!
