Group Holds Gala to Benefit Students First lady praises work for at-risk children By Jamie Dougher Assistant City Editor Communities in Schools of Orange County - an education advocacy group that strives to help at-risk students - held a gala event Thursday to recognize its achievements and thank the group’s supporters, including N.C. First Lady Mary Easley. CISOC Executive Director Sheila Sholes-Ross said planning for the event has been in the works for about six months. “We really need a signature event for CIS of Orange County,” she said. “Only a few people know about it.” Sholes-Ross said that the event will be either annual or biannual and that officials will use the gala to share the group’s yearly successes and raise funds for the organization. Tickets cost $5O per person or $75 per couple, and guests received hand outs outlining ways to help CISOC through donations. This year, Sholes-Ross said the event was partially held to thank Stick and Teresa Williams, who have served on various CIS boards on both the state and national levels and have recently relocated to the Charlotte area. good m ***-• mm;; . ~jß H* 900,1 News “It’s also a loose ‘thank you very much’ for what (the Williams) have done,” she said. The Orange High School Jazz Ensemble and the school’s Madrigal Singers provided entertainment. CISOC invited Easley to speak at the event because she travels the state as a long-time supporter of CIS and serves on the board of directors for the state organization. “Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest stay-in-school network,” Easley said. “I am a firm believer that CIS is one of the most important factors in reducing the achievement gap.” Easley also praised CIS for its success in helping students increase their per formance on end-of-grade tests. “It can really turn a school around,” she said. “That’s why I’m a real passion ate supporter of Communities in Schools. “Anytime I can encourage anybody or excite anybody about CIS, I’ll be there.” CISNC has helped 45,000 students in the state achieve their goals, address ing the state organization’s mission to “champion the connection of needed community resources with schools and other sites to help young people suc cessfully learn, stay in school and pre- HOOK OP TODAY!

Easley pointed out two high school freshmen who are CIS participants, calling them the leaders of the future. “Child by child, we can make chil dren realize they are worth something,” she said.
