I want to say a heartfelt thank you for all that Communities In Schools of Central Texas has done for one of our new students that transferred to Hedrick Middle School in Lewisville, TX last month. Our student had to abruptly leave the Austin area and move to Lewisville.
The student had a strong relationship with Laura Sinkar, the CIS Central Texas Site Coordinator, and Deb Burkhardt , his Americorps mentor at Lamar Middle School, and he was sad that he had to move so abruptly without being able to say goodbye.
Laura and Deb put together a gift for the student and mailed it to Hedrick Middle School. This truly touched him, and I can’t thank Communities In Schools of Central Texas at Lamar Middle School enough for being so thoughtful to help support him during his transition. It meant so much to me, and I know it meant even more to this student that they went the extra mile for him!
It’s amazing to think about how Communities In Schools builds such strong relationships with our students, and we will continue to support and continue those integrated student support services because of the consistency of Communities In Schools. Thank you again CIS of Central Texas!
