Sag Harbor Students Participate in The 'Umbrella Project'

Sag Harbor Elementary School students recently took part in the Umbrella Project to benefit an underprivileged school in Costa Rica.

As part of the project, fourth grade students in Meg Manell’s class painted a total of four umbrellas.

The colorful umbrellas will be shipped to Arizona for an art show, where the public can purchase them for $50 each.

All funds raised will go directly to La Guaria Elementary School in Costa Rica.

The school currently has 21 students, little resources and no technology department with the principal carrying the role of teacher, librarian, custodian and cafeteria worker.
