Holiday Play and Party with Darden Restaurants, Inc.

The Apopka Family Learning Center hosted a Holiday Party with the help of the Darden Restaurants. Beatrice Puebla organized and directed a Christmas Play that was acted by some of our students. The play was called The Journey. The Journey was about birth of Jesus Christ. The children were dressed like Mary, Joseph and the Angel.

One of our Kids in Motion teachers, Miss Laura Rodriguez was the person who organized the chorus that was part of the play. They were all dressed up in white and with a Christmas hat. They were really excited and happy to sing in front on their parents and all the people that attended the party.

Here is our CEO, Ellen O'Connor, Mylitza Woodson, and some of our children with representatives from Darden Restaurants!!

  Thanks to the Darden Restaurants, our children and parents were really happy and thankful because not only the children that attend to the Apopka Family Learning Center received a gift, but also their siblings had the opportunity of getting a Christmas gift too. Also, thanks to St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, every family left with a bag of food and a Publix gift card.  One of our classrooms was assigned as the room where the families and their children would go and get their gifts. Our teachers helped find students gifts and gave them to one of the Darden Restaurants people so they could hand the gifts to the children. The children of Frankie Delgado were involved in the party by giving candy and bracelets to the children in their way out. The Apopka Family Learning Center is really thankful to the Darden Restaurants for donating the gifts for our children.
