Kids can't learn if they have a toothache,
can't see the blackboard, or are hungry.
One Child at a Time
"The after-school program has made these students much more confident in their skills. In class they are much more willing to use materials that are available to them and to explain their understanding. I have seen them use the strategies in class that they have learned to solve new mathematical problems and this in itself is a success. I believe that the after-school program is vital to building the confidence and skills our students need."

Communities In Schools of Lakewood Teams Up with Proctor & Gamble to Help More Students to Succeed in School

Communities In Schools of Lakewood (CISL), part of the national Communities In Schools network, today announced the launch of GIVE Education, an inspiring campaign developed to increase awareness of the student dropout crisis, and raise funds to help keep more students in school.

You can support the campaign by redeeming GIVE Education Brandsaver coupons that will be distributed in newspapers around the country on July 31. For each coupon redeemed, P&G will donate two cents to CIS—allowing customers to give back while saving money.

Many coupons are dedicated to “back to school” items. If you do not have children, you can double your support by donating school supplies for the Readiness to Learn Fair, organized by Caring for Kids and held on August 13 at Lochburn Middle School. Supplies can be dropped off at the CISL office, 6402 100th St. SW.  

In addition to financial support, P & G will provide television advertising, a Facebook campaign, product donations and more. “We at CISL are very excited about this campaign, and encourage people to spread the word about Brandsaver coupons”, said Dave O’Keeffe, Executive Director of CISL.

Emmy award winning singer, and spokesperson for the campaign, states that, “All students deserve the chance to learn and succeed, but not everyone has the same resources available to do so. My work with GIVE Education will help provide additional resources to CIS so they can continue to help the students who need it most.”

If you would like more information, please contact Dave O’Keeffe or Christina Klas at 589-7489, or email the CISL office at kidsandfamilies@cislakewood.org
