Communities in Schools of Cleveland County is an organization that surrounds students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
"The Cleveland Challenge, a group of community leaders dedicated to establishing “community excellence,” brought the Communities In Schools model to Cleveland County in 1991, as one answer to the critical concern for education. Beginning with students in 1992, Communities In Schools of Cleveland County has grown from three elementary sites to eight elementary school sites, four middle school sites, and multiple community programs. The goal of Communities In Schools of Cleveland County is to provide a continuous network of support for students from birth through graduation and beyond in order to help students be successful in school and in life."
"I am so excited to be a partner with this organization as it will afford me the ability to go into schools and speak to teens and children that have attention deficit disorder." Chelsea is a national affiliate for CHADD, which is the organization that supports those with Attention Deficit Disorder. She has created her own program Re-Focus: ADHD Awareness. Growing up, Chelsea was challenged with ADHD and fought to get through school and into college. Now a college senior at Gardner-Webb University, Chelsea will be graduating in May of 2012 with a BA in Communications. She is also a mentor for the Gardner-Webb University Noel Special Needs Program. Her website, www.misssouthcarolinainternational.com tells her story and gives those affected by ADHD practical tips that have helped her succeed and achieve her dreams.
Just wanted everyone to know about this exciting event! Have a great weekend!

Chelsea
