🎓 Showing up matters.

September is Student Attendance Awareness Month, a reminder that consistent school attendance is about more than being present in a classroom. Every school day is an opportunity for a child to learn, build relationships and continue moving toward their future.

But we also know that when a student is struggling to attend school consistently, there may be more happening beneath the surface. Transportation, housing instability, family challenges and other barriers can all make getting to school difficult.

That’s why Juvenile Court’s Student Attendance Matters (SAM) docket is designed to help address attendance concerns early, connect families with support and work toward solutions before challenges become bigger.

School matters. Support matters. You matter. 💙

Remembrance can also look like service. 💙

Last week, members of the Juvenile Court team joined Volunteer Memphis 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, turning a day of reflection into an opportunity to give back to those who serve our community every day.

As a station sponsor, our team had the opportunity to serve a meal and show our appreciation to the Memphis Communications and Health Navigators at 79 Flicker.
A special thank-you to Taste of Heaven Catering for helping us make this act of service possible.

At Juvenile Court, serving Memphis and Shelby County extends beyond the work that happens inside our building. We’re proud of our team for showing what it means to serve our community. 💙

We’re gearing up for Juvenile Court’s annual Trunk or Treat & Coat Giveaway! 🎃

Every year, this event gets a little bigger, and every year, Memphis shows up. 💙

On Saturday, October 24, Juvenile Court is partnering once again with the Chief Clarence L. Cash Jr. Firefighter Foundation to bring families, community partners, candy and coats together for a day of fun and giving back.

Help us reach our goal of 800 coats! Donate a new or gently used coat by dropping it off at 616 Adams Avenue. 🧥

For now, we’re looking back at a few moments from previous years. Memphis, get ready. We’re doing it again! 🎃🍬

25 years later, we remember.

Today, Juvenile Court of Memphis & Shelby County joins our nation in honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever changed, and the first responders and everyday citizens whose courage and service defined that day.

May we continue to carry forward a spirit of service, unity and remembrance.

We will never forget.

🎃 Memphis, we’re back!

Juvenile Court of Memphis & Shelby County is excited to once again partner with the Chief Clarence L. Cash Jr. Firefighter Foundation for our annual “Candy Coated” Trunk or Treat and Coat Giveaway!

What started as a community event has continued to grow each year, bringing families together for a day of fun while making sure children across our community are prepared for the colder months ahead.

Last year, we were able to provide hundreds of coats to children and families, and this year, we’re setting our goal at 800 coats! 🧥💙
Join us Saturday, October 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Juvenile Court for free candy, family fun and our coat giveaway.

Want to be part of it? Organizations and community partners interested in participating in Trunk or Treat can sign up here: bit.ly/candycoated901

You can also support the effort by donating a new or gently used coat at Juvenile Court or any of the drop-off locations listed on the flyer.

Whether you donate a coat, decorate a trunk, volunteer or simply help us spread the word, let’s show what Memphis can do when we come together for our children.

Share this post and help us reach 800 coats!

Proud to serve the children and families who call the 901 home.

Some of the most important work at Juvenile Court happens because people choose to show up. 💙

Yesterday, we had the honor of celebrating the incredible volunteers who give their time, talents, and hearts to support the children and families we serve throughout Memphis and Shelby County.

From our CASA and Foster Care Review Board volunteers, to those serving through Volunteer Services, to the attorneys and young people who dedicate their time to Youth Court, each plays an important role in helping Juvenile Court strengthen families, support rehabilitation, and create better outcomes for our community.

As Judge Sugarmon shared, rehabilitation does not happen simply because a judge signs an order. It happens because somebody shows up. Somebody listens. Somebody advocates. Somebody mentors. Somebody helps a family find its footing.

Yesterday was our opportunity to say thank you to the people who continue to be that “somebody” for our children and families.

Your service is seen. Your time matters. And your impact reaches further than you may ever know. ❤️
