A new chapter in giving

For 25 years, the generosity and involvement of our families, faculty and friends have carried this school forward. For the first time, that work has a leader devoted entirely to it.

Bedina comes to AIS from St. Austin Catholic School, where she led advancement for more than a decade, with earlier work in alumni relations and capital campaigns at the French American School of New York. She brings a belief that a school grows strongest when its community grows with it.

In the months ahead, she will be at events, in our hallways and in conversation with the families who make this place what it is. Whether you would like to talk about giving, volunteering or simply getting involved, she would be glad to hear from you.

Fundraising Event Volunteer Opportunities

The school hosts several event fundraisers throughout the year, including our Annual Spring Gala, FUNd Run, and Family Day. We are always in need of folks to serve on a planning committee, help prep before the events, and lend a hand during the festivities. Time commitments vary from 4 to 8 hours depending upon the event. Volunteer sign-ups are shared throughout the year. If you are interested in supporting a fundraising cause, please contact Nikl Burke.

Our school community and our partners demonstrate a spirit of giving every day. Thank you so much for your support!
