The Umbrella Project
The Umbrella Project event will take place on April 24, 25 and 26th and will benefit a underprivileged school in Costa Rica. Students and chaperones from two Arizona schools, Verrado High School and Desert Edge High School including schools in New York were involved in painting the umbrellas this year. Basic umbrellas were sent to schools around the country that choose to participate, students decorate them and once completed are returned to Arizona to be put on display during the weekend of April 24th. The general public can donate money for an umbrella starting at only $50, the money raised will go directly to this years? beneficiary the La Guaria Elementary School in Costa Rica. La Guaria, currently has 21 students, little resources and no technology department. The principal also carries the role of teacher, librarian, custodian and cafeteria worker. The funds will be used to purchase a computer so that the children can experience life outside of their small town and for supplies to enhance their learning experience, including adding books to their library.
