Our Vision CISE opens doors for poor urban children to attend Catholic schools where Gospel values are taught and students receive an excellent education <strong>in</strong> an environment of respect, safety and discipl<strong>in</strong>e. Our History In 1980, dur<strong>in</strong>g his tenure as Archbishop of C<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>nati, Card<strong>in</strong>al Joseph Bernard<strong>in</strong> created the Catholic Inner-city <strong>School</strong>s Education Fund (CISE) to help combat poverty <strong>in</strong> C<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>nati’s <strong>in</strong>ner city neighborhoods. Work<strong>in</strong>g for social justice <strong>in</strong> a chang<strong>in</strong>g world, Card<strong>in</strong>al Bernard<strong>in</strong> knew that the most valuable help that the local Church could offer the poor and disadvantaged <strong>in</strong> our community was a Catholic school education. Catholic schools, pillars of those neglected communities, had educated generations of immigrants and helped set them on the road to prosperity and full participation <strong>in</strong> American society. With the hope of do<strong>in</strong>g the same for the urban poor, Card<strong>in</strong>al Bernard<strong>in</strong> established CISE to give all children, regardless of their religious backgrounds and economic circumstances, the opportunity to receive a quality education at a neighborhood Catholic school. Our <strong>School</strong>s St. Joseph, West End St. Boniface, Northside Corryville Catholic, Corryville St. Francis de Sales, East Walnut Hills Pr<strong>in</strong>ce of Peace, Madisonville St. Francis Seraph, Over-the-Rh<strong>in</strong>e Holy Family, East Price Hill Resurrection, Price Hill Note from the CISE Staff We feel so blessed to be able to work for CISE.

At St. Francis de Sales, we use it <strong>in</strong> grades 1 through 8. In one sixth grade class, we have had a range of read<strong>in</strong>g levels from second grade to tenth grade. There is no text book that can fit everyone. With AR, each child can succeed and advance at his or her own speed and be proud. We have seen children move up three or four grade levels <strong>in</strong> one school year! 16 3 10 17 4 11 18 5 12 19 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Mart<strong>in</strong> Luther K<strong>in</strong>g, Jr. Birthday (Observed) Feast Day of St. Francis de Sales 31 6 Epiphany 13 20 7 14 21 1 New Year’s Day 2010 Annual Campaign wraps up.
