What's new in AIM High? Update from Syndhia  

 

Hi Everyone, 

 

Over the last few weeks, I was hoping to touch base with each of you  and share some news with you. Unfortunately, I couldn't see all of you, so I will have to share my announcement here. Due to some personal reasons,  last Friday was my final day at Center for Companies That Care. While I am sad to be leaving, I am confident in the people who you will get to know in the next coming weeks. Many of you have already met Max Frazier, but I am glad to also be welcoming James Ballard and Danielle Riley. I will miss you all dearly, but I know that you will be in good hands. I am also grateful I got the chance to get to know each of you, even if just for a little while. If any of you would like to get in touch with me for anything, you can email me at [email protected] and shoot me an update.  I will be present at the Year-End Recognition Event, and I hope to see you all there!

 

Best wishes!

Syndhia

 

Greetings from the New AIM High Associates!

Hi fellow AIM High students, mentors, school communities and families! James and I send you greetings and want you to know we are delighted to be working with you. We all will miss Syndhia dearly and we wish her the best on her future endeavors. We as the new Program Associates will ensure that we provide the same great experience for you just as she has. We met most of you last week and look forward to meeting more of you as we continue Leadership Institute and Touchpoints throughout the remainder of the school year. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to email us at [email protected] or [email protected].  

 

Best,

Danielle
