“By connecting resources in the community to students in need, Communities In Schools

is bridging the gap that may otherwise hinder a child from their success potential.”

– Dr. Timothy Yeomans, Superintendent, Puyallup School District

3 national award WinnersTwo Washington site coordinators and one partner school were recognized by Communities In Schools National for their outstanding work last year. Dalisha Phillips, site coordinator with CIS of Seattle, and Leah Livingston, site coordinator with CIS of Lakewood, were recipients of Unsung Heroes awards for demonstrating excellence in helping students overcome obstacles to succeed. Aki Kurose Middle School Academy, served by CIS of Seattle, was honored with a School of Excellence award, which highlights successful implementation of the proven site coordinator model in a partner school.

Only five Unsung Heroes and four Schools of Excellence were selected from a national network of more than 200 affiliates and 2,400 schools. We are proud to have such high quality work happening in our state.
