Are You All In For Kids?
Communities In Schools (CIS) impacts thousands of young lives daily in Charlotte's public schools. Thank you for joining us and being All In For Kids!
For 38 years, we have been a valued partner of CMS, working inside Title I/high poverty schools to provide students with the resources and relationships they need to be successful inside and outside the classroom. Our primary goal is to ensure that all students have equitable school experiences, educational opportunities and the chance to achieve success, regardless of their socio-economic status or neighborhood in which they live.
The challenges in our schools today cannot be denied. More than half of CMS schools are now Title I (102 of 181 schools), with the majority of students living near or below the poverty line. Chronic absenteeism is at an all-time high, especially among Black, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students. Yet, we know that when given the appropriate tools, resources and support, students can and will succeed!
We invite you to visit our website, view our Annual Report, and read some of our recent Senior Spotlights to learn more about CIS and how we are making a difference for the next generation. YOU can make a difference, too, by rallying around the students and schools that need us most and making a donation today. THANK YOU for being #AllinforKids!
