For
the second consecutive year, Communities In Schools of Puyallup (CISP)
has been nominated for an annual “Rising Star” award presented by the
Puyallup-Sumner Chamber of Commerce.
The
chamber presented CISP Executive Director Jan Mauk with a certificate
of recognition last month and announced the organization as one of five
nominees for "Nonprofit of the Year."
The
award winner will be announced at the chamber’s annual Rising Star
Awards Breakfast on January 14 at the Pioneer Park Pavilion.
CISP partners with the Puyallup School District to help students succeed by coordinating services such as one-on-one tutoring.
It also coordinates annual events such as March Gladness community service projects and back-to-school supply drives.
