At Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region, empowering students to succeed academically and personally is a cornerstone of our mission. This month, Site Coordinator Cioralisse hosted an inspiring activity with her Lunch Group, helping students bring their future into focus—literally!

Students gathered to create vision boards for 2025. This activity encouraged them to reflect on their goals, aspirations, and values while fostering creativity and self-expression. Scrapbooking materials were spread out, and the room buzzed with collaboration as students pieced together their hopes and dreams for the year ahead.

Activities like the vision board project seamlessly integrate social and emotional learning into students' daily routines. By setting clear goals and visualizing their paths forward, students are better prepared to face challenges with resilience and purpose. As these students look ahead to 2025, their vision boards stand as colorful reminders of their potential and the supportive community that believes in their success.

The Board of Directors of Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region announced that Dr. Summer Rose has been named Interim CEO of the organization following Adam Powell’s departure to lead United Way of Tarrant County.

Summer Rose, Psy.D is a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas. She most recently served as the Chief Clinical Officer for Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region for the past two and a half years. Her work included developing and expanding the clinical department to better serve the mental health needs of K-12 students in the area. We are excited about what Dr. Rose will bring to this role and welcome her in this new position.
