Operation Holiday Homework

What is Operation Holiday Homework?

Operation Homework Holiday is a homework incentives program. Monday- Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30pm every member in the building participates in Power Hour (homework hour). At the end of the power hour time each member who did their homework and stayed on task receives two power hour points. Two weeks before Operation Homework Holiday the points for each member are tallied.

For many of our members the gifts they receive from Operation Homework Holiday are the only gifts their family members receive during the holiday season.Operation Homework Holiday encourages youth to take their education seriously.How do the points work?The points only refer to the time frame in which the members come to the event. The members with the highest points get to come in first and get to pick the best items for their family members. A month before the event, staff will meet with each member to fill out a 3 x 5 card listing all the members of the youth’s family who live in their immediate household. The 3x 5cards come in handy for the shoppers.
