ASP
students celebrate with Christmas party
By Bob Robinson
After School Program students wrap up their efforts on a high note…
celebrating with their own Christmas Party. All students enrolled in
the program, regardless of the specific days they attended, were
invited to one more Christmas Party on the last day of school before
the holiday break…
They were surprised and delighted when Santa Claus showed up. As he has
in the past, Santa couldn’t remember my name, but he was on top of his
game with the children.
Nearly half of the children in the program showed up to unlimited
snacks, Christmas music and pictures with Santa, posing as one of his
reindeer. A few students insisted they had homework; volunteers were
there to help them.
Nobody went home hungry!
The After School Program is conducted by Empowering Darke County Youth
and is open to all students in Darke County. The group meets five days
a week (during the school year) on the Edison State Community College
Darke County Campus. The focus is on K-4, however there are also a
number of fifth and sixth grade students participating. Greenville City
Schools provides a bus for its K-4 students; other students are brought
to the program by their care providers.
ASP is always looking for volunteers and others who wish to help.
