Letter from Communications & Engagement Manager

Hi ANCS Families,

My name is Paige Teusink, and I serve as the Manager of Communications & Engagement. This is my sixth year working at ANCS, but my connection to the school runs much deeper. My daughter, Cora, is a 6th grader at the Middle Campus, and my son, Everett, attended ANCS from kindergarten through 8th grade and is now a 9th grader at Maynard Jackson High School. Experiencing the school as both a parent and staff member has given me a special appreciation for all that makes this community such a meaningful place to learn and grow.

In my role, I manage school communications such as the Courier, our website, and social media, and I also support branding, storytelling, and event promotion. You’ll often find me working behind the scenes on volunteer sign-ups, marketing materials, and schoolwide announcements. I collaborate with our PTCA to plan community events like Music Fest, Kickball, and Grandparents & Special Friends Day, and I help families find ways to get involved through volunteering. I also support our Performing Arts Department by designing show posters, programs, and other graphics that help bring their creative work to life.

One of my favorite parts of this job is sharing the stories that capture who we are and the everyday moments that make ANCS so special. Whether it’s a student performing at Morning Meeting, our nutrition staff preparing a cultural celebration meal, a parent lending a hand at an event, or our Farm team guiding students through hands-on learning, these moments remind me why our school is so unique. Communication at ANCS isn’t just about sharing information. It’s about connection, transparency, and celebrating the people who make this community what it is.

Working here gives me a front row seat to the commitment and care that our educators bring to their work each day. As a parent, I am grateful that my children have grown up in a place where curiosity, empathy, and belonging are part of their daily experience. As a staff member, I am proud to play a small part in making sure our story is told and that our community continues to feel informed, included, and inspired.

ANCS has shaped my family in so many ways, and I am honored to contribute to its story. Whether I am helping promote an event, designing something for the school store, or highlighting the wonderful work of our students and teachers, I do it with immense pride in this community and in what we are building together.

With gratitude,
Paige
