Fall’s End & Holiday Activity
We are concluding another semester at Independent Education and are happy to say that all of our students have passed their college classes at Valencia Community College with average and above average grades.
This holiday season, we are chaperoning several activities with our clients that happened to be organized under the themes of service and ice.
On Monday, December 21, several students volunteered to do a clean up at the Russell Home’s thrift store in downtown Orlando. All proceeds from the store go to help fund the Russell Home, a non-profit group housing severely handicapped children that has operated in central Florida for over fifty years.
On Monday, December 28, our students will be ice skating outdoors in Florida, a virtual Christmas miracle, at the rink which the city of Winter Park set up in the Park Avenue commons.
On Wednesday, December 30, in keeping with our “frozen water in Florida” theme, students will be travelling to the annual ice sculpture show at the Gaylord Palms resort and conference center in Orlando. The aptly named show, Ice, boasts over two million pounds of handcrafted ice sculptures carved by 38 artisans from Harbin, China.
The new year will see the kids returning to service based work when they travel to Lakeland, Florida for a dayof grounds clean up at the Florida Baptist Children’s Home. Unfortunately, the children in the home will have already returned to school by that time and will not have a chance to meet the Independent Education students. Nevertheless, many of the kids are eager to do the landscape and painting work that awaits them at the home.
During the week starting January 4, our students will be picking up books, and mapping out the study/work/domestic/socialization schedules they will be following this spring. College classes resume promptly on Monday, January 11.
Dan and the staff at Independent Education wish all of you a wonderful holiday season. See you in 2010!
