Seniors dressed as witches, vampires and pumpkins and CISNT kids playing Pin the Tale on the Mummy - just another CISNT Halloween with our friends at Pinewood Hills!  Tina and the gracious staff and residents at Pinewood Hills gave our Hedrick Elementary School Connections kids a Halloween to remember this afternoon.  Hot dogs, nachos, candy, games, and the best part - getting to trick or treat each resident at Pinewood Hills. CISNT kids and Pinewood seniors playing and eating together.  Smiles and singing on the Pinewood Hills bus all the way back to school!

Students at-risk of dropping out of school have so much to give - so do our seniors in the community.  We’ll go back soon.  Alberto has a chess “rematch”…  Thank you Pinewood Hills for caring so much about the children in our community who need our support to succeed.

Why do we take CISNT kids to a UNT basketball game instead of a Dallas Maverick’s game?  It’s not that we aren’t Mavs Fans For Life!  We love the Mavs!

We take students who are at-risk of failing in school to the University of North Texas coliseum to see Mean Green basketball game because of the awesome experience of taking CISNT students to a university campus.  They think we’re watching basketball - in reality, we’re introducing them to a life changing experience called college…

 Later this year, CISNT will once again take hundreds of our students to Denton to see a UNT basketball game.  Many of our mentors, including our ePals from General Electric, will be joining us.  We need help paying for buses to transport our students.  Can you help?  For less than the cost of 2 floor tickets at The American Airlines Center, nachos and a coke, you can provide a bus for 50 kids to the game!
