Communities In Schools (CIS) believes that caring, one-on-one relationships between adults and young people make the crucial difference.

CIS is a nonprofit organization made up of 27 local Texas affiliates that support students at-risk of dropping out by surrounding them with a community of support to ensure they stay in school and achieve in life. Programs don't change kids - relationships do. CIS creates comprehensive, locally controlled and owned support systems around schools. CIS locates and coordinates community resources, dedicated volunteers, and agencies to serve in partnership with the public schools, both during the day and after school, thereby making the work of our educators much more effective. Coordination of effort and accountability for results are essential aspects of the service CIS provides - because, too often, well-meaning programs are not focused on overall school objectives. CIS ensures that the work of these outside agencies and volunteers is interconnected and integrated to provide the support schools need the most.

Do you remember the Fred Booth Elementary perfect attendance showcase that CIS site coordinator Mrs. Torres put together? As the first nine weeks wrap up in San Benito, we are thrilled to celebrate our students' dedication to being in school every day!

Through our Communities in Schools program, site coordinator Mrs. Torres and the Fred Booth counselor recognized three students from each grade level school wide for their excellent attendance. Winners picked from the showcase of prizes. They chose items such as wireless earphones, scrapbooks, to power banks, Legos and more!

This is just the beginning. 🏆🐾💚

Many amazing gifts are still waiting to be claimed in the coming weeks, including scooters, cameras, robotics machines, basketball hoops, and more.
CIS is truly making a difference on our campus, helping students stay motivated, supported, and excited to learn. 💚🐾🏫✏️

💙 A BIG THANK YOU TO LNG! 💙

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to LNG for being one of our valued sponsors and partners in making a difference in the lives of students throughout Cameron County.

Thanks to your generous support, we were able to assist students in purchasing warm jackets and shoes to help them stay warm, comfortable, and ready to succeed.

Our event took place on October 30, 2026, at JCPenney in Harlingen, where we had the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the students and families we serve.

Your generosity goes beyond providing clothing and shoes — it shows our students that their community cares, supports them, and believes in them.

Thank you, LNG, for helping us make a difference, one student at a time! 💙
