Communities In Schools of Charlotte Mecklenburg, Inc

We hope you have a safe and joyful holiday season! With love and gratitude, Your friends at Communities In Schools 💙

We often remind our students that being present matters: there's no substitute for showing up—in person, in school, and in life. Your donation allows CIS to be there for our students, to ensure they have the critical support and resources they need to be present in school and ready to learn. Your year-end gift will create lasting change by empowering students to overcome barriers, achieve their goals, and take charge of their future. THANK YOU for continuing to be present with CIS and our students, now and into the new year! cischarlotte.org/donate #BeingPresentMatters #BuildingBrightFutures #givingseasonclt

Shout-out to our #TRiO team at WEST MECKLENBURG HIGH SCHOOL for holding this awesome holiday party for our students and former CIS students (Alumni!), too! 💯❤️ #spreadingthejoy #happyholidays

You know it’s a #FantasticFriday when you can share about the AMAZING volunteer elves from Bank of America ‘s CFO Group who “shopped til they dropped” at #TargetMidtown recently - to fulfill the holiday “Wish Lists” of 101 CIS students at Reid Park Academy ! Yes, that’s right - 101 students will be surprised and so excited next week when these special elves come to Reid Park to distribute all of the toys, games, clothing and more on these students’ wish lists.😍 CIS is so grateful to these BofA “elves” for their generosity—and their enthusiasm throughout every moment of this project. Not to mention they have been joyfully supporting this project for more than 20 years! On behalf of the students and families at Reid Park and all of us at CIS, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! 💝🎁🎄 #communitiesinschools #cis #cischarlotte #GivingSeasonCLT #bofaelves #hohoho

We'd love for you to meet Kylee, the artist of our Holiday Card! Kylee is a CIS student in the 5th grade at Bruns Avenue Elementary School. She and her younger brother are both in CIS and love their Site Coordinator, Mrs. Karen Neal. When asked to use one word to describe Mrs. Neal, Kylee immediately said, "caring." Aside from art, Kylee’s favorite subject in school is math. She also enjoys participating in the Heart of Charlotte Optimist Club’s mentoring group (in partnership with CIS) and the Girls On the Run club. We love Kylee's snowman artwork and we’re thrilled to share it with you this holiday season! Kylee's cards are available to send as tribute cards (in honor or in memory of family and friends) when you make a donation to CIS). But don't delay - if you'd like us to send cards on your behalf, we need to have your donation and request for cards by Thursday, Dec. 12. However, all gifts are needed and appreciated at any time, whether you choose to send tribute cards or not.... THANK YOU for helping to ensure bright futures for students like Kylee with your gift during this Season of Giving. 💝 Make a Gift and/or send tribute cards: https://lnkd.in/enWbFfgW #CommunitiesInSchools #CIS #CISCharlotte #GivingSeasonCLT #donate
