Thanks to Alief ISD!

January has been deemed “School Board Recognition Month” in Alief Independent School District, and CIS Houston would like to join in by sending out a big “thank you” to everyone in AISD!

Communities In Schools programs are now in 17 schools in Alief ISD. During the 2005/2006 schools year, more than 15,000 at-risk students received services through their CIS office on Alief campuses. Alief ISD was the site of the pilot project Houston’s Kids, a collaborative effort of Alief ISD, the Houston YMCA, the United Way, the Houston Children’s Museum, and CIS. Through this program, more than 500 evacuee and non-evacuee students participated in summer activities, and continue to receive services through Houston’s Kids after school.

The staff at Alief ISD has worked tirelessly to ensure that ALL of its students receive a quality education and the social services necessary to keep kids in school and prepare them for life. CIS salutes the staff and board members in Alief ISD for their commitment to kids!
