<p class="fontlook"><B>FAMILY NIGHT AT HAVANA HARRY’S  </B>

 

<p class="fontlook">Each year the High school Junior Class along with the Junior High Council lead the efforts to give back to an important organization in our community, Coconut Grove Cares, Inc.  Carrollton students are responsible for everything from marketing and promoting the event to helping prepare the meals for the evening as well as working that night as hostesses and servers.  Through team work, leadership and hard work past Carrollton students along with the unconditional help and generosity offered by Carrollton parents Nieves Feal and Arthur Cullen, have raised over $51,000 at Carrollton’s Family Night at Havana Harry’s.  Nieves and Arthur, owners of Havana Harry’s have made this possible by donating the use of their restaurant, food and labor for the evening. These funds have benefitted Coconut Grove Cares and the Barnyard After School Program. 

<p class="fontlook">Coconut Grove Cares, Inc. is a social service agency founded in 1948 by two valued citizens of Miami, Elizabeth Virrick and Reverend Theodore Gibson.  The mission of Coconut Grove Cares is to plant the seeds of transformation that will make our world more peaceful, hopeful and relational. Carrollton has worked with Coconut Grove Cares for more than 30 years. In addition to the fundraising event, Family Night at Havana Harry’s, Carrollton helps provide tutors for The Barnyard’s After School Program in the West Grove at various times during the school year. Also, High school students provide a summer enrichment program for children from The Barnyard.

<p class="fontlook">This year Family Night at Havana Harry’s took place on Wednesday, October 14, 2009.
