Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge

First Lady Maria Lee invites all Tennessee elementary students (grades: rising K – rising 6) to participate in the statewide Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge. The challenge will start on Saturday, June 1 and conclude on Thursday, August 1.


The goal of this challenge is to instill in kids a heart for service and ask them to join the First Lady in devoting a small portion of their summer break to serving others. 


All students who complete the challenge will receive a certificate of recognition signed by First Lady Maria Lee. Top challenge participants will receive an invitation to a carnival celebration at the Tennessee Residence with Governor Bill Lee and First Lady Maria Lee to honor their hard work!
