Communities In Schools of Catoosa County is hosting its first Family Night at Cloud Springs Elementary School on Thursday, Oct. 4.
Described as a miniature Catoosa Kids Day, the inaugural event will connect local families to resources in the community that they may not have known existed.
With CIS already heavily involved in cities like Ringgold, Tammie Walker, supervisor of the organization’s Parents as Teachers Program, said the event will be focused on families in the Fort Oglethorpe and Rossville areas, especially those who are at or below the poverty line.
“We’re just trying to give them resources so they know what is available right here in their community that they can take part in to either use for themselves or to give back or to better themselves in some way, shape or form.”
The event will feature more than 10 organizations, with each providing a bit of entertainment as well as pertinent information.
