Over the past three months, Communities In Schools of Lakewood (CISL) has received grants from a wide range of funding partners. CIS is grateful for every donation—large and small—which helps us to accomplish our mission of assuring that every student in Lakewood has the support they need to graduate on time, and succeed in life. If you would like to “invest” in programs that impact over 1500 students each year, contact Dave O’Keeffe at 589-7489 or donate online at our website: www.lakewood.ciswa.org
