SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Operation School Bell® The goal of Operation School Bell is to help prepare students for school and give them a positive starting point for learning and academic success. We want to increase students' self-esteem and encourage school attendance. One way we do that is to provide schoolchildren in need with NEW clothing, books, coats, and other items that may come to our attention. Through the PENCIL Foundation, we are a system-wide partner with Metro Nashville Public Schools. Hand In Hand The overall goal of Hand in Hand is to provide services and supplies to the survivors of child abuse and their families. Through our partnership wtih the Nashville Children's Alliance, we provide their clients with supplies that aid the children in their recovery from abuse and help make them more comfortable in a stressful situation. Assistance League ACTION! Week Beginning this fiscal year we have a line item of $1500.00 to support NEW books to elementary school. This year we donated two checks of $750.00 to both Crieve Hall and Paragon Mills Elementary Schools for their libraries. The second part of this program is our taking part in Read Across America held close to Dr. Seuss's birthday in early March. Paragon Mills Elementary School has asked us to read to their students in our Cat in the Hat and Thing One and Thing Two costumes. The books we read this year were the ones we donated to their school. It was exciting to the children as they had never seen these books. Winter Warm-UP We partner with Macy's Department Store , Soles4Souls and Amerigroup to provide new coats to Pre-K through middle schools in the Metro system. Macys provides NEW coats, Soles4Souls receives the coats at their warehouse, and Amerigroup sorts the coats,then Assistance League of Nashville volunteers deliver the coats to the schools. This costs us no budgetary funds. Winter Warm-UP event is scheduled each year in October in order for students to receive these new warm coats before cold weather hits Middle Tennessee. Counselors at the schools give us the sizes of coats needed for the students in need and we distribute as ordered.
