The holidays are fast approaching\, and for families in need it can be a difficult time of year. Every year\, there are students in the Tacoma School District whose holiday season won’t be as bright as their fellow students. This year our Winter Wish Program is targeting students who are living in cars\, parks\, public spaces\, abandoned buildings\, motels\, camp grounds\, emergency or transitional shelters\, or they do not have standard living accommodations. Our goal is to provide warm clothing (pajamas\, coats\, blankets\, hats & gloves\, etc.) for these students in need this holiday season. \nStudents selected for this program are matched with a sponsor who will donate gifts to the student. The program culminates in our annual Winter Wish Celebration\, an event where the students and their families are invited to enjoy refreshments\, take pictures with Santa\, and receive their gifts. \nTo sponsor a student\, complete the form below or contact Teresa Maxwell at 253-571-4983 or tmaxwel@tacoma.k12.wa.us.

If education is the key to a better future\, we must provide all students with the tools necessary to succeed in school and prepare for life. Stuff the Bus Campaign is a joint effort among Communities In Schools of Tacoma and Tacoma Public School District to provide children in need with backpacks\, school supplies\, clothing and shoes for the upcoming school year. Our goal this year is to provide these items to 3\,000 children. Between August 21st and 25th\, a school bus will collect donations and supplies from local businesses to be sorted and delivered to the schools that the students in need attend.   We are looking for volunteers to sort through donated backpacks and supplies after the drive.

Set\, Read! Tacoma Summer Learning Program DESCRIPTION:Working with Tacoma Public Schools and community partners\, RSR-T has launched story time sessions for school-aged children around the city of Tacoma. Each session runs about 2 hours long\, providing activities and food for kids. It is no surprise that children who are not actively learning are at a much higher risk for falling behind in school and RSR-T is working to prevent that. The summer program will run through the month of July. For more information about the program\, please contact Rachel Joyce at 253.571.1054. \n  URL:https://tacoma.ciswa.org/event/ready-set-read-tacoma-summer-learning-program/ LOCATION:Pierce County\, WA\, WA\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140707T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140731T150000 DTSTAMP:20251028T045538 CREATED:20140716T164743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140716T165935Z UID:891-1404727200-1406818800@tacoma.ciswa.org SUMMARY:Baker Middle School Summer Program DESCRIPTION:Communities In Schools of Tacoma partnered with Baker Middle School\, Life Center Baker\, and Reality Sports to bring students the Thrive Summer Program.
