Rooted and Reaching - Better Together

A new school year is headed our way, and with it an opportunity to help a child.  Look for the collection box in the Narthex, Sunday, July 5 through Sunday, August 2. Donated items will go to Communities in Schools and are distributed to local school children.

Thanks for your support,

CIS places caring adults directly inside schools to connect students and families with vital resources, working hand-in-hand with parents, caregivers, and educators to remove barriers and unlock student potential.

Through daily support from professional site coordinators, Communities in Schools provides over 4,000 students each year with services like mentoring, mental health support, basic needs assistance, tutoring, and college prep.

In partnership with 300+ local businesses, agencies, churches, and volunteers, CIS connects students and families to resources that address academic, emotional, and real-life challenges. This model transforms lives by surrounding students with the support they need to thrive--in the classroom and beyond.
