Frida Fest fun at Jefferson

On September 14, D45 families and friends gathered for Frida Fest at Jefferson Middle School. Families enjoyed snacks, raffles, art activities, and access to community resources, with entertainment featuring traditional and contemporary dance. An optional workshop for parents titled “Spending Time Together” was also a part of the festivities and taught participants time management skills to optimize family time.

Thank you to our many community partners and service providers who were on hand for all the fun, including:

  • DuCAP
  • DuPage Children’s Museum
  • DuPage County Community Services
  • DuPage County Health Department
  • Hamdard Health Alliance
  • Outreach York
  • This Little Light
  • Tri-Town YMCA
  • University of Illinois Extension
  • Villa Park Bike, Pedestrian and Transit Subcommittee
  • Villa Park Public Library
  • VNA Health Care
  • World Relief Chicagoland

Frida Community Organization (FCO) is part of the District 45 community, made possible through a five-year grant that helps facilitate community-wide activities, events, and services available to all District 45 families. Through the grant, FCO also offers after-school enrichment activities for Schafer Elementary and Jefferson Middle School students, with regular educational programs for adults.
