Empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life! www.cisnevada.org

The story of Communities In Schools began in the 1970s, when Founder Bill Milliken, then a youth advocate in New York City, came up with the idea of bringing community resources inside a public school building – where they are accessible, coordinated and accountable. In the span of a little more than 30 years, Communities In Schools has become the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization.
We have a unique model that positions a coordinator inside schools to assess needs and deliver necessary resources that remove barriers to success. Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our network is comprised of nearly 5,000 passionate professionals in 25 states and the District of Columbia. We serve the most vulnerable students in the most dropout-prone school districts, nearly 1.3 million young people in more than 3,400 schools. We are actively engaged with policy makers, school staff, parents and business partners to ensure that Communities In Schools’ services are extended to as many K-12 students as possible and that those students have access to college. Independent research demonstrates that Communities In Schools is one of a very few organizations proven to keep students in school and the only one to document that it increases graduation rates. The study also shows that a higher percentage of students served by Communities In Schools reach proficiency in 4th-grade and 8th-grade reading and math.

French For Middle School had the privilege of hosting Dr. Laymon Hicks, a motivational youth speaker, author, and leadership strategist. The students had a great time and found Dr. Hicks very inspirational and funny! The message that has stood out from his speech was when you want something “Get up. Get Out. Get to it.” And “When you fall down, Get back up!” The students were able to share their takeaways and received a bracelet that says, “Who Did YOU Make Smile Today?”
