Year-End Celebration and Banquet

May 21, 2011

Service Learning Council students spent a fun-packed day at Universal Orlando thanks to our partner,  COMPACT's George Fuller who donated tickets for academy students, teachers and a parent chaperone. Exploring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and riding roller coasters was a blast!

At noon students took a break from the theme parks to attend the annual awards banquet at the Hard Rock Cafe.  This year it was held in the Elvis Presley Library and Terrace where musician Boboy Doromal performed for the students. Students received recognition for their service learning work, enjoyed the music and lunch.

Hard Rock's Joey Mazzant, the memorabilia docent surprised the students with a private tour of the Beatles' collection, the VIP Room and the attic. Students saw John Lennon's piano, a bike from the Yellow Submarine and other treasures that are hidden behind locked doors. Students also got to go on top of the Hard Rock balcony before heading back to the parks. Truly a rocking year-end celebration for service learning council students!
