Did you know that close to 30 holidays will be celebrated across the world between November 1st and January 15th? Indeed, the holiday season continues to be among us. At Communities In Schools of Mid-America, we recognize that the holidays will be different for our students, families, and communities this year. That is why we are going beyond the classroom to ensure families have holiday meals, warm clothes, and more.
