My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a Special Education Teacher and I am blessed to attend Operation School Bell a couple of times each year! I hope I can do justice to this most WONDERFUL organization because they bless so many children every single day. Let me start by expressing how much it means to these kids to have the opportunity to go to OSB. They get so EXCITED. I wish that every person who is reading this could SEE the excitement, HEAR the wonder, and FEEL the gratitude the kids have for their trip to OSB. The ride over from school is filled with talk of what they will be getting-NEW clothes! A new backpack! A coat! A book! A stuffed animal! They can hardly wait to get off the bus and meet their personal shopper. The women and men that volunteer at OSB are the BEST people around! I am not sure how they find the kindest, most caring and patient people in the WORLD, but they do! It is truly an AWESOME experience for the children and it is a happy memory that they look forward to, time and time again. The happiness starts at OSB, but it does NOT end there! The kids cannot wait to show all the new stuff that they get to wear each day. I am so very grateful that I get invited to attend School Bell, it is such a blessing! Knowing the kids backgrounds, how difficult daily life can be for many of them-then having the chance to see how a few hours can bring so much happiness that lasts for months to come...I wouldn't trade my field trips to OSB for anything. Thank you Assistance League of Norman and Operation School Bell for providing so many children with not only clothes, etc., BUT the chance to feel special and loved.
