My Nonprofit Reviews

The Assistance League of Norman goes to great lengths to make their Operation School Bell program an outstanding experience for Norman students. They serve hundreds of our disadvantaged students as discreetly as possible, with kindness and care, leaving the student's dignity intact. My high school students are always leery at first and unsure they want to participate but it is those students that often come back each year asking if they can participate again. The smiles that I see on the bus ride back to the high school warm my heart and remind me why I choose to keep working with students. I have also noticed a bit of comradery created between these students that often hadn't known each other until this trip. They seem to develop a quiet, unspoken bond built by their deeper understanding of each other's situations and struggles.
