Communities In Schools of Central Georgia

Summer is part of the school journey too. A strong start in August can begin with a book in June, a library visit in July or one steady routine that helps a student keep growing.

Every student deserves support that carries from one season into the next. Stability, encouragement and connection can help the next school year feel more possible before it even begins.

Did you know many public school students in Central Georgia can use their student ID number to access library resources?

Middle Georgia Regional Library’s PLAY Card program gives students free access to public library materials and online resources that can help them read, learn and stay engaged during the summer.

That kind of access matters. When students have books, technology and trusted places to learn, summer becomes part of their growth.

A strong summer goal does not have to be complicated. Read a little. Move your body. Stay connected to someone who believes in you.

For students, small routines can make a big difference between the last day of school and the first day back. A few pages a day, one library visit a week or one steady check-in with a caring adult can help students return in August feeling more ready and supported.

SOAR Academy students had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Reality U financial simulation sponsored by CIS Central Georgia!
Students were challenged to navigate real-world financial decisions by managing careers, budgets, housing, transportation, childcare, and everyday expenses. This hands-on experience gave them valuable insight into the importance of financial literacy, planning, and responsible decision-making.
Experiences like Reality U empower students to think critically, plan ahead, and dream big!

Can you believe it is almost May? 🗓️ We are entering the home stretch of the 2025-2026 school year. This is "crunch time"—where grades are finalized, tests are taken and seniors make that final push toward the stage.

Our Empowerment Coaches are working overtime right now to ensure every student finishes as strong as they started.

Let's rally behind our students for these final weeks. The finish line is in sight!

"Communities In Schools stepped in at a time when I didn't have much direction and helped me believe that I was capable of more." — Savion Wright, CISCG Alum.

Savion found his purpose. Now he is a source of light for others.

This is the ripple effect. When we help one student rewrite their story, they go on to change the world around them.

Have a great weekend, Central Georgia!

The data is in. CIS works. 🎓A recent Harvard study found that three years of CIS support raises high school graduation rates by 5.2%.

That might sound like a small number, but in a district of thousands, that is hundreds of students who might not have walked across the stage otherwise.

We are moving the needle, one student at a time.
