"I am thrilled with Operation School Bell and all the services it provides for students and families.  Not only is it helpful to the students, but those working at Operation School Bell are dedicated, kind, and helpful.  So many students would go without clothes, etc. if it weren't for Operation School Bell.  Thank you on behalf of all the families you serve."

quote from an El Paso County public school counselor
