"I want the alumni to walk our walk, really become true partners for
our kids, and get to know our community, our school, and our
students. But not everyone's going to go to that level. Depending on
how busy people are, how much of their time they can commit, there is
something for everyone. When someone gets involved in a partnership,
there is a range of involvement. You can provide bits of success for
our students or the whole hard drive."
-- Dr. Sandra Fontanez-Phelan,
Principal Kelvyn Park High School (Smith College Alumnae partner)

Functioning Partnerships
These partnerships regularly communicate and participate in at least three activities per school year. Pages
with a
red dot
have been updated recently and pages with a
blue dot contain photos from partnership activities.
These partnerships dedicated themselves to great service in previous years and are now discontinued. Most of the alumni groups have, since, joined new partnerships to continue helping Chicago public school students.
