Communities in Schools champions the connection of needed community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school and prepare for life. We offer assistance to students and parents who may want help with moving towards a productive and successful life. We believe that every child needs and deserves:
A personal, one-on-one relationship with a caring adult;
A healthy start;
A safe place to learn and grow;
A marketable skill to use upon graduation
A chance to give back to peers and community.
The GA Literacy Connection Program provides a mechanism by which Communities In Schools of Marietta/Cobb County, Inc. expands and/or enhances tutorial literacy services to grades K-5 at Brumby Elementary School. One of the basic beliefs is that every child deserves a meaningful one-on-one relationship with a caring adult. The tutors help the students with word attack skills, phonics, grammar and necessary skills to become an accomplished reader. PASS (Parents Assuring Student Success) training is also available for parents. Please be on the lookout for class information and schedule.
