[MR] Pages Academy Credit for Youth Retainer Program

[Britni Newton]

As an additional note, good gentles,

While the Youth retainer program is entirely separate from the Pages 
Academy, Pages who serve her Majesty in this capacity CAN earn 
Chivalry/History credits from the Academy, for their participation, and I 
heartily encourage them to do so and take advantage of this opportunity.

I do charge all parents and sponsors to please let the Pages know of this 
chance, if they are not on the Merry Rose themselves.

To receive credit, all appropriate credit request forms must be signed and 
filled out with time served.  Forms can be found on 
pagesacademy.atlantia.sca.org, and any questions can be directed to me.

In Service to the Youth of Atlantia,
Lady Livia Zanna
Dean of the Pages Academy

>Good gentles, as many of you know, His Majesty and Myself are very
>passionate about Newcomers. As We stated in Our previous Acorn letter, We
>will be holding "Newcomer's Courts" at the events that We attend.  These
>provide an opportunity for new people to meet Us and ask any questions that
>they might have about the SCA. This past weekend, We held the first one of
>these courts at Beyond Chivalry and it was a rousing success. There were
>approximately 35 people in attendance and an estimated 30 of these were new
>people, the majority of whom were at their first event.
>
>We will be holding another Newcomer's Court on Saturday at Sapphire Joust 
>at
>1pm under the Royal Pavilion.  We would ask all Chatelaines, Baronage,
>Seneschals and anyone else who may know of new people attending Sapphire
>Joust, to make the newcomers aware of the Newcomer's Court. It does not 
>have
>to be someone's first event for them to be a newcomer for these gatherings.
>Anyone who has only been participating for a short time and is still
>learning their way around the SCA is welcome to attend and ask questions
>or simply come and listen.
>
>Sapphire Joust will also be the debut of Our Youth retainer for the day
>program. Young people will have the opportunity to retain for Myself (ie 
>Her
>Majesty) or to act as a Court escort at events where Baroness Sunniva 
>Kyrre,
>who is Our Youth Retainer coordinator, is in attendance. If they choose to
>act as a retainer to the Queen, they will have the opportunity to serve the
>Queen directly as a retainer, working in conjunction with adults for
>set shifts during the day.  If they choose to participate in the Court
>Escort program, they will be providing escorts to those who need them
>during royal court. Regardless of which area of participation they
>choose, Youth Retainers will receive a special baldric to wear while
>participating, identifying them as a representative of the Queen. Currently
>the age for participation starts at 9 years old.
>
>If you have a young gentle that would like to participate, please contact
>Baroness Sunniva either beforehand at Sunniva_kyrre at verizon.net (which is
>preferred), or simply contact her directly at the event. Parents of youth
>who wish to participate MUST sign a participation permission slip for
>their young scadian with Baroness Sunniva the day of the event.
>
>We are looking forward to a wonderful weekend at Sapphire Joust.
