Having adequate winter clothing can be the difference in a child coming to school or not, so we’re asking our employees and the 901 community to help spread warmth to our students who need it most.
The District's official winter giving campaign,
Operation Warm Hearts
, will take place Tuesday, November 27, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. in front of the BOE.
Last year, we were able to provide coats and winter clothing items to hundreds of students, but so many more still need our help. This year, we’re also collecting new, unwrapped toys to help make the holiday season a little more special for some of our less fortunate students and families.

initiative. As always, it will be a festive day at the BOE, with holiday music, hot chocolate and giveaways for donors. There will also be special guests throughout the day, including our friends at the Memphis Grizzlies and Memphis Hustle, so stay tuned for more details.
Encourage your co-workers, friends and neighbors to join you in supporting our students. If you know of a business or church collecting coats, clothing and toys for children, please ask them to consider donating to Operation Warm Hearts.
