Hello fellow QCACS alumni,

My name is Gianni Edwards—class of 2011—and I am the new Development Associate at QCACS. Since graduating from here, I continued my education and now hold a degree in Global Business from Kean University. Throughout the years, I'd recite to myself "failure is not an option", a saying that still holds value for me. It has motivated me to never give up on my personal and professional goals and I know I am not the only one! So, I am reaching out and asking that you join me in staying connected with the QCACS community! A community that instilled that same saying in me, you, and the current scholars on their journey to excellence at QCACS. 

In an effort to remain in touch with our scholars long after they transition to the next phase in their lives and ensure that we can continue to serve our current scholars and their families, we need your help with two things. 

1. We need your help locating and connecting with former QCACS’ers! It takes only a few minutes for you to spread the word. You can start by signing up, clicking here or on the Alumni tab on the website. Then, forward this email to your friends that graduated from QCACS so that we can connect with alumni far and wide. Next, make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram @QCACS.
2. We ask that you participate in the 2021 campaign celebrating our 21st year serving the scholars of Plainfield and the Greater Plainfield Community. To participate in this campaign donate $20.21 by simply clicking here or mailing in payments to the school. There is no better way to start your year than by giving back to QCACS and ensuring future alumni can continue to build on the excellence you all have have been a part of over the years. If you know someone considering local foundations to support, it would be greatly appreciated if you forwarded the donation link to them. 

Lastly, If you would like to aid in the development of an alumni organization please feel free to email me at gedwards@queencity.edu as I would love to connect with fellow alumni and help you to engage with the QCACS community!

Your fellow QCACS Alumni,
Gianni Edwards
