Lights On Afterschool Shines Brightly in Texas

A big star to our Abrakadoodle-Texas locations for helping to promote and importance of having quality after school programs!

Abrakadoodle-Austin was in attendance to help support the Central Texas Afterschool Network Breakfast of Champions 10th Annual Event on October 16th in conjunction with the Afterschool Alliance’s Lights On Afterschool campaign. More than 130 attendees took part to include a state representative, three school district superintendents, a mayor, a representative from the Texas Education Agency, as well as school board members from two districts. Awards were conferred and all was well received.

Abrakadoodle-North Dallas conducted Lights On Afterschool events at six after school locations, including: New Beginnings Academy, Centennial Montessori Academy, Wyatt Elementary Art Club, Olson Elementary Art Club, Redeemer Montessori School, as well as the YMCA After School Club.

In celebration of Lights On Afterschool, elementary students created “Blue Dogs” in the style of American Pop Artist George Rodrigue and the preschool children produced face sculptures in the style of Spanish-born artist Salvador Dali.
