Operation
School Bell® Program
|
Operation School Bell is a
philanthropic program initiated in 2004. This program provides
uniforms for seven Title I schools in District 6. They are given to the students at the start of each
school year and to new students who arrive later in the school
year. |
 |
 |
With a budget of $112,003, we
provided uniforms consisting of pants and polo shirts to 3,800
students at both the elementary and middle-school levels. |
|
Our additional goal of
giving school sweatshirts to each student is being realized this
year as well, through our Bargain Box Thrift Store proceeds,
grants, fundraising efforts, and generous donations. |

Operation School Bell is a national philanthropic
program. According to principals, providing children with
new school uniforms improves self-esteem and encourages regular school attendance.
