🐝🍯 Bee Here, Bee Present, Bee Successful! 🐝

Santa Fe Elementary was buzzing with excitement during its school-wide “Bee Here” attendance event with Communities In Schools! Our Site Coordinators, dressed in cheerful bee attire, teamed up with our worker bees to welcome students with big smiles and fun hand stamps, celebrating their commitment to showing up and shining!

To sweeten the celebration, students with perfect attendance earned an opportunity to enter a special drawing for a Texas Roadhouse certificate for a free kids’ meal! 🍽️🎉

The Bee Here event was a fun reminder that every day counts and showing up matters! Together, we’re creating a hive full of learning, laughter, and success, one school day at a time! 🐝💛

Communities In Schools of East Texas proudly supported Unity Day at Crockett Junior High, joining students and staff in promoting kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Wearing orange showed our commitment to standing together against bullying and creating a campus where every student feels welcome, valued, and supported.

Together, we can make a difference, one kind word and one caring action at a time. Bulldogs stand together!

Students received popsicles after taking the unity pledge and teachers/ staff received Italian shaved ice donated from our local HEB Pantry. Thank you!

Cleveland Ninth Grade Center celebrated Unity Day with a special activity led by the Student Council! Students came together during lunch to share positive messages and words of kindness on the Kindness Tree bulletin board, now displayed in the main hallway.

Students who wore orange also had the chance to enter a raffle for a $25 Chick-fil-A gift card, courtesy of CIS!

We love seeing students lead by example, spread kindness, and remind their peers that even the smallest acts can make a big difference!

🧡 Together, we can make kindness grow!

Unity Day at Southside Elementary was a wonderful success! The kiddos enjoyed their treats and had fun adding positive messages to the Unity Wall, celebrating kindness, respect, and unity.

Students also learned meaningful ways to help prevent bullying by choosing kindness, standing up for others, and treating their peers with respect.

It was a beautiful day filled with positivity, learning, and reminders that kindness starts with us! Together, we can make our schools safer, kinder, and more welcoming places for everyone.

Unity Day guest speakers, Katelynn Pitts and Joshua Clinton with Community Healthcore, led meaningful discussions and interactive activities with students about the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and working together.

Students created individual paper links, each sharing a way they could work together with others on campus. They then connected their links to form a chain, symbolizing how small acts of kindness, cooperation, and support can bring everyone together and help our school community grow stronger.

Together, we are building connections, strengthening relationships, and creating a campus where everyone can make a difference.
