On Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, the After-School Opportunity Lab (A-SOL) hosted our Spring Program Showcase, and what an incredible evening it was! The air was buzzing with excitement as we gathered at Watermark South Dallas to celebrate our amazing students and their achievements.
Dr. Shaw, our dedicated Program Director, shared the heart of A-SOL's Christ-centered mission and gave us a glimpse into the transformative spring program. But the real stars of the show? Our students! Jayden, one of our talented A-SOL participants, took the stage to share his experiences and favorite moments from the program. His enthusiasm was contagious, reminding us all why we do what we do.
We were also honored to hear from Lavida Samuel, founder of Elle Vie Body Products, who partnered with our students on an exciting project. Her insights into working with our young entrepreneurs were both heartwarming and inspiring.
To round out the presentations, board member Dawn Johnson shared her passion for A-SOL and her excitement for our future. Her words left us all feeling motivated and ready to take on new challenges.
The evening concluded with networking and conversations that buzzed with ideas and possibilities. It was truly a night that showcased the best of A-SOL - our students, our community partners, and our shared vision for empowering underserved youth in South Dallas/Fair Park.
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, to our incredible speakers, to Watermark South Dallas for hosting us, and to all our volunteers who made the event run smoothly. Your support means the world to us and to our students.
As we look to the future, we're more excited than ever about the impact A-SOL can make. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming programs and events. The best is yet to come for A-SOL!
