We are officially Back to School and Bright Futures Tahlequah is still looking for volunteers for the Lunch Bunch Program at Cherokee Elementary. If you are interested in being a Lunch Buddy, or want more information, please comment or send a DM!

We also have a need.... As you know, Tahlequah Public School students are blessed to receive free basic school supplies, but we want to help Stock the Tissue Closet!

If you have the opportunity, please help us with "The Great Tiger Kleenex Challenge" by purchasing from our amazon wish list:

or dropping off donations of boxes and individual size facial tissues to the Tahlequah Resource Center at 404 N. Mission Ave.

Bright Futures Tahlequah partners with the Lunch Bunch Program at Cherokee Elementary School, which invites parents and family members to eat with their children at lunch.
We understand that many children will not have someone join them on their special Lunch Bunch Day. Lunch Buddies will be available to fill the gap with unaccompanied children.
If this sounds like something that you would love to do, please fill out the application soon! Our safety committee must approve all Lunch Buddies. See attached.

With the objective being to build true, organic connections with the students, we ask that each Lunch Buddy serve at least once a month and try to be consistent with the grade that you choose.
Applications can be emailed to [email protected]
