Each year CIS of Richmond holds a Moving On Honors event honoring the strength and determination of an elementary, middle, and high school student. work with CIS to design a summer experience that is an extension of their journey. From summer camp, to enrichment classes, to college or career experiences– the students plan their own next step. We invite you to share the magic of last year’s stories.
“I went through things that made realize— this is not it. I don’t want to continue doing this… CIS was the only place I could go. That’s what really helped me.” –Ever, Huguenot High School
“Ms. Kent gave me something I didn’t know I needed. She has been a role model. No matter how many time we bump heads, I know she wouldn’t love me less.” –Joi, Highland Springs High School
“It made me feel more creative. At first I saw the world as home and school. When I started drawing more my confidence grew and I started making more and more friends. It kind of grew— like, like a flower.”-Diviana, Henderson Middle School
“I learned to not look down all the time, when you’re in a high place. Or you can just breathe calmly. Just believe that you’re not going to fall.”-Shaquille, Blackwell Elementary School
