Thanks to The Lola Foundation for bringing the Canines 4 Kindness program to one of our Northwest Side schools last month! The program was interactive, fun, and most importantly, demonstrated how to practice compassion and kindness every day.

Happy Teacher and School Staff Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for our @ChiPubSchools educators, whose dedication to students is unmatched! This morning, Juanita, one of our CIS Student Supports Managers, kicked off the celebratory week with a breakfast for school staff.

We love to see connections like these happening across the city! S/O to our partners, The Lola Foundation and Laura S. Ward Elementary!

Thank you, @Soles4Souls! Because of our partnership, CIS partner schools were able to pick up 500 shoes and deliver them directly to students who need them most. This definitely brought some smiles to young people and families as we gear up for the end of the year. 👟

Last month, our friends at The Lola Foundation shared their Canines for Kindness program at a few of our partner schools, and our students loved the experience. The program showcased compassion, tolerance, and empathy through rescue dogs. https://t.co/AFDY4my1ij
