We know you love seeing kids succeed. We do too! What else do you love? We polled a few CIS staff. Here is what they said:
“I love my new apartment, my independence and all these new possibilities that come with that: with designing and laying things out just how I want. I get to be unapologetically me.”
-Laurin Mathis, Administrative Assistant
“I love spring board and platform diving. I was a diver in high school and college. I’m soon to be training for tower diving.”
-Phillip Hegwood, CIS Afterschool Coordinator
“Musical theater!”
-Nicky Aiello, Volunteer and Development Coordinator
“Music and playing guitar.”
-John Oliver, Director of Quality and Evaluation
“A really good book. As I look over the course of my life, it is so enriched by reading.”
-Pam Kingery, Executive Director
“First of all… I love my daughter with all of my heart and soul and am very proud to be her mother. I love all of my family, even with our differences. I love my friends who have become part of my family. Last, but not least, I love each and every one of the students I have and continue to come in contact with and support through my work at KPS and with CIS.”
-Martha Serio, CIS Site Coordinator, Spring Valley Center for Exploration
“The Great Lakes…still.”
-John Brandon, Partner Services Coordinator
“I LOVE, my two daughters, Alyssa and Leila.”
-Felicia Lemons, Development Coordinator
Come back next week and meet Principal Amira Mogaji, KPS Principal of Northglade Montessori
Magnet School. In the meantime, here’s what she shared with us when we asked her this same question:
“Oh, I love so many things! Learning. I know that’s such a principal thing to say, but it’s true. Anybody who knows me knows I love learning. Pizza, too, but I’m gluten-free now.”
–Amira Mogaji, KPS Principal, Northglade Montessori Magnet School
As long as we’re on the subject of love, we love you, dear reader and CIS friend! Thank you for putting love into action by sharing your time, talents, and financial gifts with Communities In Schools. Thank you for working with us to help students stay in school and achieve in life.
