Happy Holidays for young people across Kansas!

Having a happy and memorable holiday is important for all children, and we strive to make that come true for our students.  CIS of Rice County is working hard with their local GoodFellows organization to make sure that families in need have food and gifts for the holiday season.  

In Ottawa, children are enjoying new footwear courtesy of their Kick up Your Heels for Christmas program.  The staff at Ransom Memorial Hospital and Ottawa University raised money for new shoes, and Wal-Mart donated socks for each child in need.  Also, more than 300 students will have sparkling fresh teeth thanks to new toothbrushes!

Wishes will come true for many children in Wichita with the commitment of more than 30 partners to adopt 50 families in need.  CIS of Wichita also partnered with Bicycle X-Change to give away 60 bikes!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the holidays memorable for the children in Kansas.

Make your end-of-year contribution to CIS of Kansas today with JustGive. Happy Holidays!

What we do works!

Our results from the 2008-2009 school year are in, and they show big improvements for our students!  We reached 20,664 students this year, and 2,574 of them received case-managed services.  With the help of 580 partners and 2,378 volunteers, students achieved more in school!  Of those receiving CIS case-managed services, 98% were promoted, 80% improved behavior, 73% improved academics, and 91% showed an increased commitment to learning.
