Communities In Schools - Bay Area

A huge thank you to Costco for partnering with CIS to bring the Costco Reading Buddies Program to McWhirter Elementary School! 📚❤️

Twenty dedicated Costco volunteers met weekly with 20 McWhirter students to help strengthen reading skills, build confidence, and encourage positive social connections. The program wrapped up with a fun end-of-year celebration for the students and volunteers!

Thank you, Costco, for investing your time and heart into supporting student success!

Congratulations to Ms. DeRaimo’s 3rd grade homeroom for achieving the highest attendance percentage for both the 3rd and 4th nine weeks! These dedicated students showed up every day, on time and ready to learn.

To celebrate their outstanding commitment, they enjoyed an ice cream sundae party sponsored by our Adopt-A-School Partner, the Friendswood Zetas.

A heartfelt thank you to our Adopt-A-School Partner, Barrios Technology, for giving Clear Falls High School graduating seniors a wonderful send-off!

Barrios generously provided Chick-fil-A, drinks, festive decorations, and items for the seniors' gift bags, helping make the celebration extra special. Special thanks to Charlene Lozano for taking the time to celebrate and encourage our seniors as they prepare for this exciting next chapter.

We also extend our gratitude to Bay Area Service League for donating delicious cookies and brownies to sweeten the celebration!
