First United Methodist Church of Denton—After School Program

First United Methodist Church of Denton is working diligently to develop an after school program for kids in kindergarten through fifth grade that successfully includes children with special needs. The concept behind the program is comprehensive care for all children. There are 6 classrooms and a game room we need to renovate and lots of really fun ideas to get us started.

The program will focus on cooperative play, multi-sensory learning, and building functional skills for the future. The children will be able to explore many different environments while nurturing natural talents and expanding their knowledge and interests.

They are in need of all kinds of donations to get this unique and exciting program started. If you have the ability to provide toys, money, design ideas, building materials, or labor, they would be very appreciative. If you would like to participate in a chocolate bar fundraiser, we are selling boxes of King-sized Hershey’s© Milk Chocolate bars (2.6 ounces) with decorative wrappers for $36. Each box contains 18 chocolate bars which can be sold at your school or workplace for $2 each. All proceeds go to revitalize and expand the after-school program at FUMC-Denton.

If you would like to help out, please contact Heather Barahona at hlbarahona@gmail.com.
