Communities In Schools of Spokane County

Communities In Schools of Spokane County

Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school. We also help set students up for college readiness classes.

We connect resources to vulnerable students at targeted schools--this can be as basic as food security or as complex as placing them in a one-on-one relationship with a mentor. By offering the right services to the right students at the right time, we are freeing up the teachers to do what they do best, teach!

Yesterday Garry Middle School GCC staff partnered with Harvest Inland Northwest and Bite2Go to host a SPRING FOOD MARKET. We saw approximately 200 students and served 6 parents in 20 minutes. Our plan was to help families with food during our summer break, and I think it is safe to say we had a LARGE turnout and it was A HUGE success!!!

We want to inform you about a recent email scam . On Tuesday, May 28, 2024, an email was sent from an employee's account offering musical instruments from Mrs. Jessica Jackson. The email lists various items, including a bicycle, violin, camera, piano, and guitar, and asks recipients to pay shipping fees to receive these "free" items.

⚠️ PLEASE DISREGARD THIS EMAIL ⚠️

This email is a scam. The hacker has compromised an employee's account to send out this fraudulent message. Do not respond, and do not send any money or personal information.

We are working diligently to address this security breach and ensure it does not happen again. Your security is our top priority.

We’re thrilled to share the amazing results of our recent collaboration with Second Harvest Inland Northwest at our Bite2Go bag-stuffing event.
