Exciting News! Today, WFAA's Kara Sewell sat down with our Chief Advancement Officer, Kristin Kelley, and @Carlos Munguia, President and CEO of Amegy Bank, Dallas-Fort Worth Region, to discuss our Back to School Drive! We're thrilled to partner with Amegy Bank to collect essential school supplies for students in need. You can make a difference by donating school supplies at local Amegy Bank branches, through our Amazon wish list, or with a cash donation on our website: https://lnkd.in/g_zeb6kP. Let's come together to support our students and ensure they have everything they need for a successful school year! #BackToSchool #AllInForKids #CISDallas #AmegyBank

About us
Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region, Inc. (CISDR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1985 to address the growing number of high school dropouts in Dallas and surrounding areas. As experts in collaboration and in providing comprehensive case-managed services, CISDR’s professional staff brings community resources into schools to work in the interest of at-risk children in a coordinated, caring and cost-effective way. Currently, CISDR operates in 130 schools in 14 school districts in Dallas, Collin, Ellis, Hunt and Rockwall counties. Students are recommended to the program by teachers, counselors, administrators, parents, friends or are self-referred. CISDR case managers work with each child to develop a holistic plan to prepare students for successful lives. This means that CISDR not only works with students to address academic concerns, but also with parents, teachers and administrators who are involved with these students each day. By using this holistic wrap-around approach, distractions and disruptions in the student’s life outside of the school environment are addressed, allowing the student to focus on his/her schoolwork.
