Communities in Schools helps our kids!

Communities in Schools of Orting holds a school supply drive and distribution each year. This year was another successful event. On August 11th, CISO distributed 246 backpacks filled with supplies to students here in our District. Backpacks have supplies for students ranging from Kindergarten to 12th grade.

This was a huge accomplishment for our students and could not have been realized if not for the generous support of our own community. As the economy struggles, the need continues to rise each year. Many students go without during this economy and CISO is thrilled to partner with this community to help ease some of their burdens.

Although CISO was able to help so many, unfortunately there were others who had to be turned away as well. If you have the means to help provide for a student that is in need, it's not too late. CISO will continue to hand out backpacks as long as they are available. You can still donate money or items by bringing them to the CISO Cafe during the hours of 10am - 2pm.

If you are one who is in need, call Kim Farnes for more information, 360-893-3156.

Thank you again to this community that knows how to give from the heart.
