Today, we’re spotlighting CIS of Cape Fear’s 24th annual Stuff the Bus event! 🎉 This year, the event has evolved into a community engagement opportunity. Local businesses, corporations, civic organizations, and churches united to collect essential back-to-school items for students! Communities In Schools of Cape Fear is also preparing site coordinators and school administrators by investing in professional development, first aid and mental health support training, and relationship-building events for staff and school principals. Thank you for going above and beyond to provide students AND staff with the resources they need to be present and start the school year strong!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, which highlights the critical importance of students starting the school year strong by being present in the classroom. Last year, more than 1 in 4 students were identified as chronically absent, meaning they missed at least 10% of school days. There is an urgent need for support to overcome the many barriers that affect a student’s ability to be present at school. At CIS, we surround our students with the support they need to show up to school prepared and ready to learn. Thank you to our Network, schools, and community partners for meeting students where they are and getting them back into the classroom and on the path to graduation! #BeingPresentMatters #AttendanceAwareness
