School Supplies For a Great Start to the Year

The power of a pencil

As we have been preparing for a new school year, Communities In Schools is reminded that some of the most meaningful support comes in simple forms. School supplies are always one of the foundations to a great new year.

While a pencil or backpack may seem small, these items can have a powerful impact. Access to basic school supplies removes barriers to participation in the classroom and allows students to focus on learning instead of being distracted by what they don’t have.

Most importantly, these tools communicate to students that they have a caring adult that can help them when they need it. Contributions from our community in this area give our site coordinators the opportunity to start a conversation and build a relationship. Pencils are pretty powerful!

Thank you for helping us start school prepared!

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has helped equip students for the year ahead.

Special thanks to:

  • H-E-B of Central Texas

  • Trautschold Millwork

  • Hawaiian Falls Waco

  • Armadillo Harley-Davidson

  • The Waco community as a whole

Supporting students with basic needs

Showing up for students starts with staying informed and is exponentially more successful when we work together. As needs on campus are ever-changing, we will be sharing those needs with you!

If you would like to make a donation or interested in supporting students in our campus programs, we would love to work together. Email info@cis-hot.org or call our office at 254-753-6002.
