Connecting community
resources with schools
to help young people
successfully learn, stay
in school, and prepare
for life.
We believe that every
child needs and deservesthe Five Basics:
1. A one-on-one
relationship with a
caring adult
2. A safe place to learn
and grow
3. A healthy start and
healthy future
4. A marketable skill to
use upon graduation
5. A chance to give
back to peers and
community.
CIS school-based
programs are designed toprovide students with at
least one of these REAL
basics.
As EastSide Charter School celebrates its 15
th
year, Communities InSchools celebrates its 5th year at the school! At EastSide, CIS offersseveral unique programs and services to help empower students to stay
in school and achieve in life. We will highlight the programs in our
monthly newsletters.
ING & CIS-DE say
ThankYouING Bank and CIS of Delaware collaborated to recognize teachers
throughout the state of Delaware at all CIS school sites. Teachers wereprovided gift bags filled with classroom supplies, along with thank
you letters from ING bank executives and CIS of Delaware President,Jim Purcell. The effort was truly a unique collaboration which
included ING bank employee volunteers and CIS staff members
collectively working together to stuff bags and then distribute them
throughout the state of Delaware. On August 17th
, 2012 CIS staff handdelivered bags to every EastSide Charter School teacher and staff

Meet Our New Staff
We are very excited to introduce the
newest member to our CIS team, Ms. Shanice Griffith. She is pleased
to join the EastSide community as the Public Ally to Communities In
Schools of Wilmington. Ms. Griffith is the CHOICE Coach and is
piloting a program new to EastSide Charter School. CHOICE stands
for Choosing to Help Others in our Community and Environment. This
program engages students in meaningful community service projects
and will serve as an alternative to suspension for select students. We
hope students will learn how to positively interact with members of the
school community and the community at large.
