Un nuevo comienzo puede empezar con algo tan sencillo como una canasta llena de artículos esenciales. Ayúdanos a apoyar a SheBrews y a las mujeres a quienes sirven mientras comienzan una nueva etapa de sanación y oportunidades.

As Coordinator Appreciation Week comes to a close, we want to say one more very important thing: thank you.

Thank you to our Communities In Schools Coordinators who show up every day to listen, encourage, advocate, connect families to resources, celebrate wins, and remind students that they do not have to navigate life alone.

The impact of your presence cannot always be measured in a single moment but it can be felt in every student who knows someone sees them, believes in them, and is in their corner.

Because you are present, students know they matter. We appreciate you today and every day. 💚

Back-to-School Night at Eugene Field Elementary was full of connection, excitement, and community.

Families had the opportunity to meet the principal, teachers, school staff, and Growing Together’s Communities In Schools Coordinator, Anna Chincon, as everyone prepared for a strong school year ahead.

From arts and crafts to basketball, reading, and time spent engaging together, the evening gave students and families a chance to feel welcomed, supported, and connected to their school community.

We are grateful for the Eugene Field Elementary team and the way they continue creating a school environment where students and families feel seen, encouraged, and ready to thrive.

Here’s to a great year at Eugene Field Elementary!

This Coordinator Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the incredible Communities In Schools Coordinators who show up every day for students and families across the schools Growing Together serves.

Our coordinators do far more than respond to challenges. They build trusted relationships, connect families to resources, encourage students through difficult moments, celebrate milestones, and help remove barriers that can stand in the way of learning and success.

Our CIS Coordinators bring that belief to life every day through their presence, compassion, and commitment.

To our entire Communities In Schools team: thank you for being in the schools, in the lives of families, and in the corner of every student you serve.

Your presence matters. Your work matters. And our schools are stronger because of you.

Help us celebrate by tagging a coordinator who has made a difference or sharing a story about the impact they have had.

As K–12 students return to school, a group of adult learners has begun a new chapter too.

Thanks to a partnership with Catholic Charities of Eastern Oklahoma, these determined learners are taking the next step toward earning their diplomas through HiSET classes this fall.

Their decision to return to the classroom is more than a personal goal. It is a powerful example for their families and for our whole community.

We are proud to celebrate every learner choosing growth, opportunity, and a new beginning.

At Growing Together, we believe strong neighborhoods help create successful students. That is why our work alongside schools, families, residents, and partners matters in every season.

This recent article from Purpose Built Communities is a powerful reminder that neighborhoods play a critical role in helping students keep learning, stay connected, and return to school ready to grow.
