There's a special kind of magic in a room full of people who believe in the same mission. ✨

That's what we felt at the Communities In Schools of Virginia Summit! A chance to share ideas, celebrate successes, and reconnect with the heart of our work.

Our favorite highlights? Our CEO, Adrienne Cole Johnson, in a fireside chat with@communitiesinschools founder Bill Milliken—bringing together where we began and the hope of what's ahead. Oh that and, our very own Anthony Cosby keeping the room engaged, and giggling.

We left inspired, energized, and reminded of what's possible when we're .

Seniors at kicked off a year of celebration at senior convocation. Marking the beginning of a milestone year filled with possibilities, traditions, and moments worth remembering.

Senior year brings big changes, big emotions, and even bigger dreams. Through it all, CIS is there to help students navigate what's next, celebrate how far they've come, and remind them they never have to do it alone.

annual Harvest Fest, brought to life by CIS Site Coordinator Ms. DePriest, has become a beloved community tradition for over a decade-- and despite the rain, the East End showed up!

Always our favorite part? Seeing CIS Site Coordinators + staff from across our network come together to support one another, lend a hand, and share in the joy.

When we show up for each other, we show up stronger for our students. That's the CIS magic that keeps us going! ✨

Big feelings start early, and so do the skills to manage them! ✨

Students at created sensory calm-down bottles during small group, learning simple strategies to pause, regulate their emotions, and find calm. These early lessons in self-awareness and emotional regulation become building blocks for navigating challenges, relationships and transitions as students grow.

Tiny wins today. Stronger, more confident students tomorrow.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we spent time with our Site Coordinator and artist extraordinaire, Mr. Perez. Students created a project celebrating their school community, their language and their heritage.

But the real magic is Mr. Perez . His energy alone tells students: come as you are. On the good days and the hard ones, his space is a place where students can show up fully, create, connect, and know they belong.

And when students are given the space to be all that they are, beautiful things happen. ✨

That senior year joy. ✨ seniors celebrated a new milestone at Senior Installation—stepping into a year of leadership, growth, and all that comes next.

From elementary school forward, Site Coordinators sees the cap and gown in every student—and celebrates every tiny win that gets them there.

The first few weeks of school can be filled with busy calendars, hectic transitions, and big feelings-- but our Site Coordinators always show up. They show up for support, they show up for guidance, they show up for hugs, they show up for their students.

The biggest thanks to them for creating a safe place in our schools, for all students. ✨

Our students are making the commitment to be present—for themselves, for each other and for what comes next. 💪🏾

One day at a time. One choice at a time.
