San Antonio—there’s still time to STUFF THE BUS!

Our annual Stuff the Bus School Supply Drive—one of the largest in the city—is underway, and we’re looking for community partners ready to make an impact.

Every year, CIS-SA teams up with partners like KENS 5 & Kens5.com and H-E-B to help ensure that thousands of students don’t go without the supplies they need to succeed in school.

From backpacks to notebooks, every donation helps remove barriers and sets students up for success on day one—and beyond.

💙 There’s still time to get involved:
✅ Host a supply drive
✅ Make a donation
✅ Rally your team or organization

Let’s come together to make sure every student starts the school year confident, prepared, and ready to thrive.

Dr. Adriana Rocha Garcia’s journey reminds us why our work matters. When students feel seen, supported, and encouraged, they grow into leaders who strengthen our entire community.

We’re grateful for Adriana’s continued service on the CIS‑SA Board of Directors and inspired by the way she uses her voice to expand opportunity for others.

Proud to celebrate one of our own. 💙

🌟 Alumni Spotlight: Meet Dr. Adriana Rocha Garcia

Adriana’s path shows how support structures like Communities In Schools (CIS) can be a catalyst for first-generation college success and lifelong service.

Growing up in a family with limited financial resources, Adriana’s academic and personal resilience led her to become the first in her family to earn a college degree, pursue a doctorate, and serve her community as a city council member.

Today, Adriana serves on the CIS of Antonio Board of Directors and is the inaugural President & CEO of the Center for Health Empowerment in South Texas (CHEST), an initiative focused on closing the health equity gap.

Her story connects CIS’s early supports to leadership roles that ambitiously expand opportunities for others.

✨ What a night. What a legacy. What an impact. ✨

Together, we celebrated 40 years of champions at The Reunion Gala and raised an incredible $100,725.25 to support students and families across our community—including a special $40,000 anniversary gift from San Antonio Spurs Sports & Entertainment and Spurs Give.

Every raffle ticket purchased, auction bid placed, and donation made helps ensure students have the support they need to stay in school and achieve in life.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, gave generously, and helped make this milestone celebration unforgettable. 💙

📸 Tag yourself and your friends in the event photos and share your favorite memory from the evening!
