School District Stories

Our strong partnership with the Puyallup School District is instrumental in our ability to achieve our mission. Here are a few kind words from our friends in the school district:

“We are grateful for our partnership with CIS of Puyallup in seven of our schools and cherish the impact they’ve made district-wide for two decades. Barriers to success come in many forms. From a lack of resources to inadequate attendance, CIS staff and volunteers work tirelessly serving as champions for kids.” -Dr. John Polm, Puyallup School District Superintendent

“Mary (Woodland Site Coordinator) is an incredible support to Woodland’s students, staff, and families. Mary’s kind and understanding nature makes her the perfect person to make others feel cared for and loved. She is a hard worker who always strives to do her best and lights up any room with her positive outlook. Mary is more than a great support– she is an inspiration who teaches others to always look for their ‘golden egg!’” -Deana Goranson, Woodland Elementary Counselor

Your donation makes a difference.

Communities In Schools of Puyallup believes that every student, regardless of race, gender, ability, zip code, or socioeconomic background has what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond. We walk by their side, in their communities, to challenge the systems and barriers that stand between them and their success in life. Your contribution to our Annual Friendraiser will support our work to serve as resource navigators, youth advocates, and community organizers to help all students write their own version of a success story.
