2025 AAG Archives Zumba-athon

Dear Albany Academy Community,

We’re thrilled to invite alumnae, alumni, faculty, staff, current families and students to the 2025 AAG Archives Zumba-athon — a joyful evening of movement, music, and gratitude on Tuesday, November 25th at 5:30 p.m. in our beautiful new state-of-the-art Performing Arts Studio, a generous gift from Elissa Mueller Stevens duPont ’52, located in the Lower/Middle School.

Our very own Señora Veronica Puente-Windle will lead this high-energy, feel-good event—perfect for burning a few pre-Thanksgiving calories while supporting a meaningful cause!

This fun, community-building event supports Phase Two of the AAG Archives Project, a series of mini-projects preserving and celebrating the legacies of both Albany Academy for Girls and the Albany Academy and honoring the contributions of our alumnae and alumni for generations to come.
