| Head Start students with Service Learning Council students |
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) sponsors a yearly service activity for the community's Head Start children that is filled with joy and giving. All year the retired seniors make and collect hundreds of gifts for the Head Start students to give to their family members for the holidays.
The center is transformed to a magical holiday workshop. There are tables loaded with handmade and donated merchandise so the young students can "shop" for family presents. They also get to pick out one gift for themselves.
The Service Learning Council students served for two days at the RSVP Center's Santa Workshop in Orlando. They greeted the students, served juice, assisted them in "shopping" for their family's presents, read with them, and entertained them by face painting and leading them in dance steps.
The seniors have a wonderful band and performed both days. Mickey Mouse came to greet the students and seniors making it even more special and exciting for the students.
This event gave the Head Start students the opportunity to have gifts under their family's Christmas trees, something that could not have happened without the wonderful event.
