Dear Friends and Supporters of the Academy for Global Citizenship,
Thank
you for your ardent dedication to helping The Academy for Global
Citizenship`s (AGC) work to thrive. On behalf of AGC, I am delighted to
provide you with a brief update on our educational initiatives in
2007-2008, in addition to extending an invitation to you to become part
of our 2008-2009 Vision of Hope.
Our
2007-2008 journey has been extraordinary! We have been inspired by the
relentless enthusiasm of Chicago`s global citizens, civic leaders,
community members and dedicated educators, exemplified by the countless
catalysts that have become a part of our founding team. Furthermore,
Arne Duncan, CEO of Chicago Public Schools, has recommended AGC to the
Board of Education, receiving final approval on October 24th for
opening in August of 2008.
Our
2008-2009 Vision of Hope is well underway as we recently opened our doors for the first time on August 18th!
Internationally collaborative alliances are currently being developed
to augment our globally focused curriculum and organizational
partnerships are growing. Our team is working vigorously on attending
national conferences on best-practices, fine-tuning our educational
program, developing community associations and obtaining adequate
operational funding to make our four-year dream a reality.
