Some students like geography, and
then there are students who want others
to appreciate the joys of geography
as much as they do. That would
describe the recently published author
of Kobe's World Adventure,
Windermere
School student Kaylan Patel.
A two-time Florida
Geography Bee champion,
Kaylan felt the need to give
youth in Central Florida the
opportunity to love geography
as much as he does.
“The book basically takes
the kids on a little tour of the
country with some fun facts
but some geography facts,
as well, for them to learn,”
the 16-year-old high school
junior said. “Considering I
used to compete, I wanted
to do something with geography,
and I thought the best
way to do that [at] another
level would be to write a geography
book for kids.”
Preparatory
Kobe’s World Adventure revolves

SOUTHWEST SPOTLIGHT
Young Author Is Going Places
Taking Geography to the Next Level
by Blair Parke
Windermere Preparatory School student Kaylan Patel
publishes Kobe's World Adventure.
Kobe and his family traveling
the U.S., visiting
some known landmarks
in each state, and learning
something new connected
with the states.
The book is written for
elementary-age children,
and, after publishing the
book, Kaylan decided
he wanted to share his
book by reading and
later gifting it to area
elementary schools. He
most recently read the
book at Hungerford
Elemen tary School
during the past summer,
an experience he will
treasure.
“When I was reading to them, they
were really engaged and asking
questions, enjoying the book and excited
to get the book,” said Kaylan,
who also has read to children at a
Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida
and an intensive care unit in an
AdventHealth hospital.
Kaylan and his parents started
their own 501(c)3 foundation —
Lending Hand Global Foundation
— and plan to partner with A Gift
for Teaching to include Kaylan’s
book with boxes of supplies to
Title 1 teachers in Central Florida.
The foundation also plans to sponsor
more book, clothing and food
drives.
As he looks to the future, Kaylan
already is planning to write more
Kobe’s World Adventure books for
all the world’s continents, anything
to give students the opportunity to
learn and love geography.
“I want to spread knowledge to as
many people as I can,” he said.

AWARENESS
Italian-Americans
Unite in Community
Unico Civic Group Is Established in Central Florida
by Leona Braun
Have you heard of Dr. Anthony
P. Vastola of Waterbury,
Connecticut? Do you know what he
has to do with the Italian-American
community in the Greater Orlando
area?
Dr. Vastola was born in 1889 in
San Valentino, Italy. When he was
6, his family immigrated to New
Haven, Connecticut. He graduated
from Yale University and Fordham
Medical School as a physician and
surgeon. When his request to join
a local service organization was
turned down because of his ethnic
background, he conceived the idea
of a civic group with members of
Italian heritage.
In October 1922, a group of 15
men met in Dr. Vastola’s home to organize
just such a group patterned
after other civic organizations. It
was a fulfillment of his dream to
unite men of Italian heritage in an
organization to perform charitable,
patriotic and educational deeds.
This was the birth of Unico — its
name taken from the Italian language
to indicate that the group
was “unique.” Soon, word spread
about the organization, and chapters
began to spring up around the
country.
Windermere residents Joe
and Jeana Scalo also had a
dream to establish a chapter of
Unico. They both grew up in Italian
families in upstate New York.
“I hid my Italian heritage from the
bullies, especially in high school,”
Jeana said. “I did not grow up with
extended family support like Joe
did.”
The Scalos moved to Florida in
1983 when Joe landed a job at a
Tampa law firm. This led to a job in
the Orlando area in 1988, where
they settled to raise a family. The
couple has four daughters and one
son. During a family trip to Italy in
2019, when Joe visited his grandfather’s
home, he became inspired to
preserve and pass on his heritage.
“It was shortly thereafter that
we started our effort to establish
a chapter in Orlando as a means
of promoting and embracing our
Italian-American heritage and culture,”
Jeana said.
During the COVID-19 pandemic
in 2020, little happened toward
building a Central Florida chapter.
After the pandemic, however,
the work began to organize and
publicize. The Orlando chapter of
Unico received its charter March
27, 2022, creating the 100th chapter
in the USA in the 100-yearold
organization. Another dream
realized.
Today, the Greater Orlando
chapter of Unico is presided over
by Joe, president, and Jeana, assistant
vice president; and they
want to hear from others of Italian-
American heritage in the area.
One of its most important activities
involves fundraising for college
scholarships in all areas of study.
In 2022, local Unico awarded 20
scholarships totaling $98,250 to
graduating high school seniors.
The members also have fun
events. Four times per year, a couple
in the group hosts a heritage
dinner that features foods from their
ancestors’ region of Italy. They also
sold raffles to win a trip to Italy.
The winner was drawn at the club’s
anniversary celebration last month.
If you are of Italian heritage,
want to make friends with those
who share your customs, and desire
to be a positive influence
in the community, Unico is your
service/social club. Jeana and
Joe are waiting for your email at

Huntington Learning Center
Getting Students Back on Track for Success
Huntington Learning Center
has established itself as a trusted
learning environment for students in
the Dr. Phillips, Windermere and
now Winter Garden areas. In the
spring of 2022, the center opened a
second location in Winter Garden
to better serve families in that area.
In today’s academic environment,
students are facing more challenges
than ever before, but Huntington
Learning Center is prepared and
equipped to help.
Executive Director Aziz Kabani
explained the problem facing students
is they have been trying to play
catch up each year since COVID-19.
“We’re still dealing with the effects
of COVID-19, and we’re seeing issues
arise because of that learning loss,”
Kabani said.
Students are already at a disadvantage
going into a new school year.
There is a known learning regression
that happens every summer. When
parents take into consideration the
challenges that schools have faced
during the past couple of years, children
aren’t retaining the information
they’re learning as well and are struggling
as a result.
Staying One Step Ahead
Huntington Learning Center is committed
to helping students, not just
get back on track, but continue to
progress.
“Our goal is to always have students
working one grade level
ahead,” Kabani said. “We identify
where their skill level is and build all
the way up.”
Huntington Learning Center does
this through thorough evaluation of
what each student needs and oneon-one
instruction customized to each
child. It also offers a virtual option for
those who aren’t comfortable coming
to the center in person. Virtual
students get the exact same learning
experience online, as well as access
to the same 3,000 pieces of curriculum
that is available in the center.
Whether it’s reading, writing or math,
the teachers are able to continue oneon-one
instruction online at no extra
charge.
“The first thing we do is give the
student an assessment to see exactly
where they fall with their skill level,”
Kabani said. “Our goal is to be able
to identify any setback or any gaps
in their foundational skills. From there,
we develop a program for each individual
child. There are no two students
in our program that are working
on the same curriculum. It’s all based
on specific needs.”
The dedication to each child’s success
and willingness to go above and
beyond are what truly set Huntington
Learning Center apart. The teachers
work in partnership with parents and
schools. They have progress meetings
with the child’s parents every few
weeks, so they are informed of what
skills their child is working on and how
he or she is progressing. They may
reach out to the student’s teachers at
school to collaborate on the best way
to help the student progress, and they
are happy to attend IEP or 504 meetings
to advocate for the student.
All teachers at Huntington
Learning Center are required to hold
PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
a minimum four-year degree and
must be trained specifically in the
subject matter they are teaching. The
center has been helping students for
more than 20 years and is accredited
by the Middle States Association.
It is also accredited as a private
school by the Florida Department of
Education.
With the largest SAT program in
the state, their average test score increases
are impressive. A Huntington
student’s SAT test score will on average
increase by 250 points or more,
and their ACT test score will on average
increase by 6 points.
“For some people, it’s the difference
between even going to college
and not going to college,” Kabani
said.
Huntington Day School
In an effort to enhance learning
even further, Huntington Learning
Center opened the Huntington
Day School in 2020. The small,
private school accepts K-4 students.
It is accredited by the Florida
Department of Education, and it mirrors
Orange County Public Schools’
calendar and hours for parents’ convenience.
Many parents will also be
happy to learn that Huntington Day
School is exempt from requiring third
and fourth graders to take the FSA.
Building Confidence
in Academics
Confidence-building is a key element
in helping students excel. All
the teachers at Huntington Learning
Center aim to encourage the students
and boost their confidence.
Parents who come to Huntington
Learning Center are often in a contentious
relationship with their kids.
They feel frustrated and discouraged
at having to fight over homework every
night and not being able to help.
And, the kids are doing what Kabani
calls delayed avoidance. They want
to do everything else except their
homework, because it’s hard. They
want to save the hardest thing for
last, and then it doesn’t get done.
“We want to let students know that
they can do the work,” Kabani said.
“The biggest complaint we get from
the parents is, ‘I cannot sit with my
child and do homework. My daughter
and I get into a fight every single
night about doing this, because it’s
too hard for her, and she doesn’t
want to listen to me.’ When we’re
able to build these skills, the student
is able to work independently, and
it changes the whole relationship
between the parent and the child,
because they’re able to get back
to being Mom and Dad and the
child instead of the teacher and the
student.”
After studying at Huntington
Learning Center, the same children
who struggled to read when they
started at the center are now reading
two or three grade levels ahead.
And, they like it, because they’ve
become good at it. Huntington
Learning Center builds those skills,
and the confidence to tackle learning
challenges and excel at them.

Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell.
She chose Team Niall. As a firstgeneration
American, Kala wouldn’t
be where she is today without her
Australian roots and Filipino culture.
At large family gatherings, Kala’s
lola (grandmother) would ask her
to sing for everyone, rewarding her
granddaughter with $5 following
each performance. That upbringing
eventually led Kala to pursue music
wherever she could — singing in
her high school jazz band, leading
worship in church, and joining
a competitive collegiate a cappella

Pre Fab is considered to be the
