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 »
Still fretting about what to get a friend, family member or co-worker for the holidays? Relax! Communities In Schools has got you covered. Our Online Store is stocked with a variety of items guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face, including clothing, bags, office supplies (great stocking stuffers) and more.
And merchandise from the Communities In Schools Online Store is the gift that keeps on giving; when you purchase items from the store, the proceeds help support our mission to give children everything they need to stay in school and achieve in life.
Even better news: if you order this week, your purchase can arrive in time for Christmas!
So put the fuzzy reindeer socks and dancing Hawaiian Santa sculptures aside, and get your loved ones a gift they’ll appreciate that makes a difference in the lives of students across America.
