#AllinforKids Campaign

We are All In for Kids!  We work directly inside Thomasville City Schools at every grade level to ensure that our most at-risk students have a caring adult available.  The Communities In Schools (CIS) Student Support Specialist is at their school every day, equipped to assess and understand their needs and break down the barriers that get in the way of school success.
 
Jaquan is just one of the students but his story exemplifies how CIS works for our students.  Two years ago, he missed 20% of the school year, had 40 office referrals, and 21 days of suspension.  He started this past year by meeting with his Student Support Specialist who set goals for him and taught him some self-regulation techniques.  Beginning with daily check-ins, then weekly as his behavior improved, his grades also began to improve and he was able to spend most of the school day concentrating on his lessons.  Last year, Jaquan missed only one day of school and had zero suspensions.  He made 5’s on his math and science EOG.  He told his Student Support Specialist that she saved his life.  He is moving on to the middle school where he will continue to be case-managed but he is ready to face the challenges of the new school year.
 
Help us make a difference for more children this school year.  Consider a gift of $10, $25, $100 or more to support the work of CIS in our schools.  We are in this work for the long haul!  Join our “community of support” to help kids stay in school and achieve in life.
