Communities In Schools of Georgia

We’d like to give a huge shoutout to our incredible affiliate, Communities In Schools of Catoosa County, for their continued dedication to supporting students in the community! 🎉 Each Wednesday, Brittany Lones, the West Side Site Coordinator, partners with the North Georgia YMCA After School Program to bring engaging and educational activities to students. Last week, thanks to a generous jelly bean donation from a WSE grandparent, students had a blast using jelly beans and toothpicks to build houses for their chicks! 🏠🐣 This fun and creative activity not only sparked excitement but also gave students the chance to sharpen their STEAM and problem-solving skills. We love seeing students thrive in such innovative ways! 🍬 Thank you to everyone at Communities In Schools of Catoosa County for all the amazing work you do to help students succeed. We’re proud to have you as part of our statewide network making a real difference in the lives of students! 💙 #AllInForKids #CommunitiesInSchools #STEAM #ProblemSolving #CISCatoosa
