Hi Friends, First of all - THANK YOU! We are so grateful for our amazing community, generous sponsors, committee members and volunteers, Tom the Turkey, and especially our schools for showing up for the 11th Annual Turkey Trot in a HUGE way. More than 1600 people registered and the race raised $73,000! Congratulations to North Street School for winning the school competition and to the overall and many age group winners. Be sure and visit the Turkey Trot page on the Alliance website for race results and pictures! The Alliance made it to the national stage with AVID SUCCESS and we are so excited! On December 9th at the AVID National Conference (in Dallas, Texas), Nancy Kail, AVID SUCCESS coordinator, and I presented two 75-minute presentations titled "Money, Jobs, Networking: Meaningful Ways to Support Your AVID Students via Community-Educator Partnerships". WMS leaders, Erin Montague, Gordon Beinstein. and Olivia Traina, were also in attendance. We all returned with new information, skills, connections, and ideas to enhance the AVID experience in the Greenwich school district and even enjoyed some delicious local ice cream. As we close out the year, please take time to donate to the Greenwich Alliance for Education. 100% of what we do is for the Greenwich Public Schools teachers, students, staff and alumni! I hope you have many chances during the holiday season to laugh and celebrate with family and friends. Stay safe and well! See you in 2022! |
