Here we have Mr. Ethan, an intern with Publix @ Hyde Park, at his graduation celebration! Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to have his celebration at two different locations. Pictured are Alexandra and Joi, his direct supervisors along with Jackie, the Manager of the store. Also pictured, you will see a very proud Ethan and his Mom Marisol, who is even more pleased. Ethan will be continuing his work with Publix since they asked him to stay on! All were very pleased with his work ethic, his timeliness and his thoughtfulness on the job. One of their quieter employees, but got the job done quite well. Many thanks to Jackie and her team for having Ethan, as well as hiring him long term. Also, a big shout out to the Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, our funder who makes this all possible. Ethan graduates from high school in the spring of 2026 and hopes to attend college in Orlando. His Manager Jackie has said she could be helpful in a potential transfer to a Publix in Orlando while he goes to school. What a deal! I certainly would take her up on that Ethan!
