Paige Academy Annual Kwanza Celebration and Fundraiser
Paige Academy is an independent school offering a comprehensive, culturally affirming and developmentally based educational environment. We provide Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Programs as well as our Elementary School grades k-6 with curriculum in Arts, Sciences, Humanities, and Technology for children ages 6 to 12 years.
Paige Academy embraces the concept that cultural resonance expressed through an ethnically abundant educational community enhances the quality of a child’s academic and intellectual experience.
Paige seeks to create a stimulating tapestry of diversity in its community of students, parents, staff and faculty. Paige employs a multilingual, international, teaching and administrative staff that represents the many people and cultures of the Diaspora.
Paige Academy is currently in the process of a capital campaign in order to renovate and increase classrooms on our campus. We have a donor who will match 1 million dollars if we can raise 1 million.
Our executive director Dr. Angela Cook along with 6 others founded the school in 1970 over 47 years ago. Dr. Angela Cook recently turned 70 years old in November. In honor of her birthday we had a online fundraiser entitled “Seventy is Heavenly” on Wednesday Nov. 29th and asked for a contribution of $70 dollars in representation of how many years she has been on this Earth.
Paige Academy’s upcoming fundraiser is our annual Kwanza Celebration. . In these trying times of social and racial justice issues and current political climate it is imperative that all communities regardless of race, age, religion or economic status come together and discuss what matters. We invite you to come and join us in these discussions and to share your thoughts and concerns in our safe spaces.
The event will be held at the First Church in Roxbury one of the oldest churches in Roxbury. On Saturday, December 30th, 2017 5:30pm – 8:30pm. Tickets are $40 dollars. Your ticket price will include Drum, Dance,
Live Music, a Candle Lighting Ceremony for the Nguzo Saba Principles, Food and Drink
