OPERATION SCHOOL BELL® ...provides children in
need with appropriate assistance to enhance self-esteem, to promote learning
and to encourage regular school attendance.
Ruth Ann Montgomery of the ASSISTANCE LEAGUE® of Bakersfield (CA) saw many
children in need. Her response was the genesis of OPERATION SCHOOL BELL, which
became the national philanthropic project of NAL in 1998.
Locally, teachers from several Flagstaff elementary schools who partner
with the OPERATION SCHOOL BELL program identify children in grades 1-6 who are
in need of clothing. New clothing or JC Penney clothing vouchers are distributed
to the children monthly.
