@James Speed, we are so excited to recognize your impact on students statewide on September 25 at the Back to School Bash! James reflects on moments that changed his life --– the same kind of moments he wants for our CIS students. Ms. Louise Bibby, James’ fourth-grade teacher, who told him he was a “good little math student” led to James becoming a Certified Public Accountant and having a successful career in finance. James stated, “Ms. Bibby did what CIS team members do -- they believe more in you than you believe in yourself.” It is this belief and these experiences that influenced James to be a life-long supporter of Communities in Schools providing support for students to be successful inside the classroom and beyond. Celebrate James with us! Ben Pysch Kendrick Fentress Blaine Morehead Stephanie Driscoll Tina Wilson Justin Sosne Justin Wood Bryan Bickley James Reid Melinda Dickinson AAA Carolinas Diane K.

Meet our Reentry To Resilience (R2R) team. CISNC's R2R program serves youth transitioning from Youth Development Centers (YDC's ) back into their communities and schools. Last month, for Second Chance Act Month, the R2R team held a "Rep Your YDC" competition, encouraging students to share what a second chance means to them through song, poetry, rap, art, crochet work, and written stories. All of the youth entries were AMAZING!! One winner was chosen from each YDC, and that winner “competed” against each respective YDC winner. The competition was strong, and the youth really showed their creativity! It was a tough choice for the R2R team! The overall winner of the Second Chance Month “Rep Your YDC” competition is a young lady at Chatham YDC.
Shaki'ya is a senior in our Jobs for North Carolina's Graduates (JNCG) program. When asked how JNCG impacted her, this was her response: "JNCG has helped me truly understand myself and has given me the courage to go after whatever I put my mind to. I am thankful for this course because it has taught me so many valuable life skills that most people don't learn until they are well into adulthood. Not only was the class amazing but Ms.Robinson is an amazing teacher who actually takes time to connect with us, make us feel good about ourselves, and lead us in the right direction. She always pushed us to be better than we were the day before." Visit our website to learn more about our JNCG program. #allInforkids
