Family Dinner was a Great Success

It has been said that t

place for a family to

communicate is aroun

dinner table. Our fam

extended to almost 60

people at our first CIS

family dinner on Oct

25th! With several par

siblings and CIS students in attendance, we discussed our program at Milford

Central Academy and many of the initiatives and goals we will achieve throug

the 2011-2012 school year. Families walked away with some great informati

well as prizes,

including

Wal-Mart and

Grottos Pizza

gift

certificates.

Parents, we

greatly

appreciate your

support as we

endeavor to fulfill the five CIS Basics. This valuable family time was a great

the right direction! Special thanks to Jen Koester from the CIS Delaware Stat

office for her help in planning and facilitating the family dinner!

CIS is looking for Volunteers

YOU can make a difference!

YOU specifically have something valuable to contribute to a CIS student at M

Central Academy! Paying it forward only takes a little bit of your time, but y

long-lasting and positive results. Our current needs include the following

opportunities:

• Lunch Buddies- Eat lunch once a week with a student. Sharing goodconversation with friends over a meal is something we all love. Lunch

in 30 minute segments. Which lunch schedule works best for you?

Lunch A- 10:45-11:15; Lunch B- 11:30-12:00; Lunch C- 12:15-12:45

• Homework Helper- Many students just need that one-on-one attentio

their “ah-ha moment.” Students could benefit from your help with

completing homework and/or class assignments, gaining confidence in

reading or math, and basic tutoring. Students can work with you one-

or in small groups. Homework helpers are primarily needed on Friday

9:00-9:30am (girl’s class) and 12:45-1:15pm (boy’s class). Other tim be discussed on an individual bases.

• Career Speakers- Come tell us your professional and personal journe

Many times success seems like a distant dream instead of an attainable

reality. Sharing your journey helps put things into perspective for our

students. Contact Kia Lockhart to schedule a time to speak to our clas
