We will accept elective change requests for 2nd semester starting at 8:00 a.m, Tuesday, Dec. 3 until 4:00 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 5. In order to be fair to all students, we will not be able to accommodate any requests made via email or in person. The link will be available on the CMS Webpage under the Counseling Tab.

Thank you!

Community Activities
After a 15 year partnership between
Christmas is for Children and Kroger, Corporate at Kroger said we can no longer distribute/collect food at the store. Which means a significant loss in food donations for CIFC. We typically feed 1200-1400 families and we are worried we will only be able to feed 700 families. These families depend on IFC during the holidays.
If your business, school, organization, family can help in creating a food drive/collections, we would be so thankful. Also, if anyone has a connection with a refrigerated truck we need that as Kroger has let us use theirs in the past. They also gave us a price break on turkeys, milk and bread-so if you have a contact for that we can use that would be great.
