SERVICES TO YOUTH
Volunteer at Operation School Bell:
The Tulsa (OK) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated partnered with Assistance League of Tulsa and volunteered at Operation School Bell.
Students from John Hope Franklin Elementary School were provided the opportunity to shop and be fitted for clothing items on the list. All items were brand new, in packaging with tags. Volunteers assisted as the students tried on their new clothing in separate dressing rooms. Their faces lit up with smiles when they looked at themselves in the mirror.
The Links were warmly welcomed and invited to come again!
John Hope Franklin Elementary School Kick Off:
The Tulsa (OK) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated had the pleasure of participating in the John Hope Franklin Elementary School Kick Off.
Members presented a worksheet to the attendees and the goal was to unscramble words associated with Science-Technology-Engineering-Arts-Math.
Once complete, the kids received a fun takeaway. In addition, The Links distributed flyers in support of their upcoming STEAM Forum October 26.
The Links are looking forward to continuing their mentoring program at the new school.
