Happy Mother’s Day from the Communities In Schools family! We are so appreciative of all the hard work mothers across the nation do to raise their children. Parents are truly a student’s first and most important teacher, and it’s an honor for us to be able to give mothers the resources they need to raise successful students. Enjoy your special day, moms! You’ve certainly earned it.
At Communities In Schools, we love to hear about students succeeding, site coordinators creating amazing programs, and people working together to change the lives of kids across America.
So it’s time again for Reader Revels! It’s an opportunity for you to celebrate and share the difference you made in someone’s life recently, or to recognize the work that someone else did to inspire you.

Doesn’t it feel like the holiday season starts a little earlier every year?

We’ve hardly finished handing out (or in my case, eating) all the Halloween candy when we’re bombarded with Black Friday ads and Christmas sales. You can’t turn your head without running into a commercial telling you that it’s not a true holiday season without giving and receiving the hottest, trendiest presents.
It can be awfully hard not to get overwhelmed by all the ads – and the expectations. We need to keep in mind that the holiday season isn’t solely reserved for shiny, store-bought things; it’s about the time and care we dedicate to make someone’s life a little brighter.
What do you do to make your community a brighter place during the holidays? Some of our national staff members shared their favorite ways to give back during the holidays. And we would love to hear what you do as well! Feel free to share in the comments section. View full article »
