Academic Achievement Awards a Rousing Success
by Nakia Herring
Baltimore Times
July 8, 2005

Once again the Academic Achievement Awards Foundation, Inc. has shown that Baltimore City students are at the top of the class, when it comes to academics.

The Foundation has been operating for the past 27 years, but recently has seen a tremendous growth over the last three years. Recently, 497 students throughout Baltimore City were honored for their high academic achievement in school.

With over 2,000 in attendance at the Carl J. Murphy Fine Arts Center, located at Morgan State University, students from 44 different schools received medals, certificates and the Texas Instrument Graphic Calculator.

“There was just a tremendous outpouring of support for these students. We recognized 497 students, who had been academic achievers in their schools. There was an amazing array of diversity in terms of gender and race. We had 70 students that were repeat winners from last year. Those students received a citation from Senator Barbara Mikulski,” said the Reverend Alvin C. Hathaway, Sr., M.A.C.M, president and C.O.O. of Academic Achievement Foundation, Inc.

He continued, “We had 90 fifth graders, who we consider graduates of our program. Each one of the fifth graders received a Texas Instrument Graphic Calculator. It is an amazing instrument for them to use.”

Kraft Foods held their own contest dedicated to “Heros,” which there were 15 winners. The winners received certificates and family passes to the grand opening of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum.

“We usually give out trophies, this year we gave out the academic achievement medal. It is a molded metal that has the imagery of Henry Baines on it. One of the reasons we honored Henry Baines is because he graduated in May of this year from the School of Divinity from Howard University, where he received his Masters,” said Rev. Hathaway.

Reverend Henry T. Baines, Sr. is the founder/chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of the Academic Achievement Awards Foundation, Inc.

This year’s event saw performances by Gwynns Falls Elementary Jazz Band, Coldstream Park Elementary Vocal Choir, The Empowerment Academy Dance Troupe and Edgecombe Circle Elementary Vocal Choir.

Troy Johnson, 92Q radio personality was a special guest at the ceremony. He did the roll call of all the participating schools.
Mayor Martin O’Malley was also on hand to congratulate the students as well.

“When we brought the fifth graders on the stage, Mayor O’Malley shook the hand of every fifth grader as they received their awards. I have to commend him for that,” said Rev. Hathaway.

“What we have demonstrated is that there are a number of young students in our schools who are working very hard to be academically successful. I believe that the more we highlight them and encourage them, they will be our future leaders,” said Hathaway.

Rev. Hathaway says the Academic Achievement Awards ceremony will be even bigger next year. They might even have to change venues if that happens. He is also working with the schools, so that once the fifth graders enter Junior High and High School, he will be able to track their progress.

Meaningful Summer Learning Partnership

2009-07-04T10:07:00.006-04:00

Meaningful Summer Learning Partnership
by Jayne Matthews
Baltimore Times
Friday, May 29, 2009

Many of the challenges to a good education require complex, expensive and time consuming solutions. While summer learning loss represents a problem that can have a negative impact on nearly every student, it is a problem that can be addressed by a collaboration of parents, school administrators and community leaders.

Developing meaningful summer learning partnership

Many of the challenges to a good education require complex, expensive and time consuming solutions. While summer learning loss represents a problem that can have a negative impact on nearly every student, it is a problem that can be addressed by a collaboration of parents, school administrators and community leaders.

A study published by The National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University found that “Partnerships are a proven and cost-effective way for schools and community organizations to provide more meaningful summer learning experiences— making a real difference in the lives of children and families.”

The report, funded by the Nellie Mae Education Foundation recognizes the power of partnerships: “What schools or community–based organizations (CBOs) can’t do alone they can often do together. Particularly when budgets are tight, successful partnerships allow organizations to leverage resources that expand and enrich young peoples’ lives.”

What sets this study apart from other research projects on this subject is its straightforward approach to developing strong partnerships. The report gives an easily understood recipe for potential partners to follow. This is essential reading for anyone interested in designing successful partnerships. It begins by identifying the conditions that allow partnerships to thrive.

•Supportive Leadership Supportive leadership can be defined as the active backing and participation of key decision-makers in program planning, implementation, assessment, and improvement. School leadership, in particular, is often critical, as many summer programs that operate in partnership with schools are located on school grounds. In many cases, the principal is the critical link; however, superintendents and other administrative leaders also need to be supportive and involved, depending on the context of the program and the nature of the relationship. Supportive community leaders are also critical to successful partnerships.

•Complementary Missions and Shared Values—The most effective summer programs demonstrate a clear understanding of mission and values, and communicate those values broadly to all stakeholders. When building effective linkages with partners, it is critical that all partners share a commitment to a broader set of values and to achieving the missions of the partnering organizations.

•Formal and Informal Communication Structures Communication might include the formal (a Memorandum of Understanding or MOU) or more informal— meetings, emails, and joint professional development opportunities.

In a section titled “Barriers to Collaboration” the report acknowledges that there may be obstacles along the way. “Many barriers attempt to interfere with successful collaboration, including time constraints, complications with data sharing, and practical complications involving insurance and liability.

However, these obstacles are not insurmountable. For example, although data sharing tends to be one of the most time consuming hurdles to jump, program directors stressed how important it is to their overall ability to improve their services. Several partners have been able to coordinate the collection of data into one management information system, allowing multiple partners to input and access varying levels of individual and program information.”

The conclusion of the report’s executive summary discusses the role and benefits of well-planned summer learning programs. “More than 100 years of research underscores the importance of providing high-quality summer learning experiences for children. When budgets are tight, summer programs can fall by the wayside, particularly affecting low-income families that can’t access private resources.

Partnerships are a proven and cost-effective way for schools and organizations to expand what they can offer children and provide more meaningful summer learning experiences, making a real difference in the lives of children, families, and communities. But the benefits reach beyond summer. If meaningful summer linkages can enhance outcomes for youth and families, perhaps these lessons are applicable to a larger view of education reform.”

2009-06-27T18:10:00.004-04:00

OrchKids is an after-school program designed to effect social change and nurture promising futures for youth in Baltimore City’s low-income neighborhoods. In collaboration with a broad array of community partners, the BSO’s OrchKids program will provide music education, instruments and mentorship to Baltimore’s neediest youngsters.

Under Music Director Marin Alsop’s artistic leadership and direction, OrchKids is a cornerstone of the BSO’s vision to expand the Orchestra’s relevance within the city’s broad and diverse community. To effectively implement OrchKids and to create a network of community support, the BSO is undertaking the program in partnership with several key local organizations, including the Baltimore City Public School System, The Peabody Institute, Arts Everyday, Baltimore School for the Arts and The Family League. Each partner organization will contribute its own expertise and unique resources to the program.

Funding for the planning phase and first year of OrchKids is made possible in part through the generous support of Robert E. Meyerhoff and Rheda Becker. Music Director Marin Alsop has committed $100,000, structured as a four-to-one matching gift, intended to motivate and inspire others in the community to provide additional support to sustain the OrchKids program through the critical first few years of implementation and growth.

CHILDREN DESERVE QUALITY SUMMER ENRICHMENT EXPERIENCES.

2009-06-24T17:54:00.001-04:00

SuperKids Camp is a six-week summer reading enrichment program which has served more than 15,000 Baltimore City elementary school aged children. We have been honored as the recipient of the Johns Hopkins Center for Summer Learning's Excellence in Summer Learning Award which "recognizes outstanding summer programs that demonstrate excellence in accelerating academic achievement and promoting positive development for young people."

SuperKids Camp 2009 will take place June 29 through August 7, 2009 (excluding July 3) and will serve rising 2nd and 3rd grade (or current 1st and 2nd grade) Baltimore City Public School students. Camp will operate Monday through Friday from 9am to 3pm.

What is SuperKids Camp all about? SuperKids Camp is a program that combines intensive reading instruction, incentive-based reading challenges, and a variety of literacy-based enrichment activities. Our program works effectively to counter negative attitudes, discouragement and poor self-esteem that profoundly affect a child’s belief in his or her ability to read. SuperKids Camp is the largest non-school based summer academic enrichment program in Baltimore City. It is sponsored through a combination of state and local government, corporate and individual donations, and private foundation funds.

History

2009-06-23T16:35:00.001-04:00

Rev. Dr. Henry T. Baines, Sr., Founder and President of The Stop Shop Save Food Markets in Baltimore, Maryland, started off as grocery store employee and worked his way up the ladder of the management of a local supermarket. Rev. Baines then opened his first store in the Park Heights Community of Baltimore City, MD in 1978. While Rev. Dr. Baines was running his store in Park Heights, he gained an understanding of the needs of the people of his community. He saw a need to motivate neighborhood children to do their best in academic subjects. As a result, he encouraged the neighborhood students to bring him their report cards. For every "A" a student had, he would give the student $1.00, and for each "B" he would give the student $.50. The word quickly spread and students throughout the community brought Rev. Baines their reports cards anticipating a monetary reward.

Through these thoughtful and humble acts, the concept of The Academic Achievement Award Foundation, Inc. was brought to life. Also during this time Rev. Baines one store rapidly expanded into The Stop Shop Save Super Market chain which now totals six super markets strategically located throughout Baltimore City. In 1999, the Academic Achievement Award Foundation, Inc. was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The work of the foundation became an institutional incentive program for many public schools around the City of Baltimore.

Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway, Sr., President and Chief Operating Officer, was brought onto the AAAF Board of Directors and management in 2002 to manage the day-to-day operation and to develop a broader base of financial support.

Since 2002, the scope of the program has expanded each year. The program now provides recognition, awards, and prizes to a select group of public school students in Baltimore City annually. Students are recognized for their academic accomplishments at an Annual Awards Celebration which has been held in past years at the Baltimore Convention Center, Carl J. Murphy Fine Arts Center on the campus of Morgan State University and Meyerhoff Symphony Hall Corporate sponsors contribute incentives to the students, such as, vacation trips, computers, calculators, bookbags, gift certificates, and trophies.

An Annual Corporate Supporter’s Breakfast was developed in 2003 during Black History Month to recognize the previous year’s supporters and to present plans for the coming year. The Henry T. Baines, Sr. Academic Achievement Award was created to recognize the corporations that contributed to the Foundation’s work.

Always seeking to improve its services and support for the parents and teachers of the students in the program, The Academic Achievement Award Foundation, Inc. is in the process of developing a methodology to track the progress of each student from kindergarten through college and expand its reach into the community.
