Join Communities In Schools of Chesterfield for Our 2021 Holiday Light Tour!

CIS EXPRESS is a free, family-friendly holiday lights tour in Midlothian off Hull Street. In a town known for its tacky light tours, this is a great addition. Plus, it is a light tour with a mission! From the comfort and safety of your vehicle, you will visit fabulously decorated homes, through an easy to use guided tour on your phone. Each of the stops on the tour is connected to our mission and the ten schools we serve – for 11 stops total!

This year, we have added two live event nights! On Friday, December 10 or Saturday, December 18, you can enjoy our Cocoa and Cookie Café from 6:00-7:30 p.m. The first stop on our tour will include a free hot cocoa and cookie station, musical performances, a spot to take photos, and more! It will be the perfect, festive kick-off to your tour experience!

The event is free, and with registration, each participant will receive an electronic event package. Packages include instructions to download our guided tour app to use with mobile devices and other important event details. A printable copy of the tour with addresses and QR code directions will also be available. The tour can be driven any night over the event dates (December 6 – 19). When you are ready to start the tour, you will open the mobile application on your phone to begin. Along the route, participants will hear from members of our CIS team, students, families, and school staff, who will share more about the work and impact of CIS through short audio clips! A couple of fun videos will also be incorporated, which participants can tune into before, during or after the event to learn more about the interventions and services we provide to the 10,000 students we serve.We’ll also include a scavenger hunt for little and big kids alike, the chance to win Family Fun Baskets, and other great prizes.
