Title: Two Programs Aid Students Over Holidays

Description: The dreams of thousands of students in our schools were fulfilled this past holiday season.  In the spirit of charity and volunteerism, 3,000 children enjoyed a wonderful holiday due to the generous efforts of students, teachers, district employees and the community.  Organized and administered by our dedicated School Police Department for the past nine years, the Holiday Family Drive has been ensuring our disadvantaged families will be remembered at this special time of year. The Department of After School Programming would also like to recognize Family Central, a provider of funding and services throughout Palm Beach County, for reaching out to children in the School-Age Child Care Program (SACC.)  Through their efforts many families enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and  joyous holiday.   We recognize the generosity of the kind-hearted individuals and agencies  who made these tremendous efforts possible.
