Bronxdale H.S. Costa Rica trip
BY ALEX MITCHELL
Once fi nals are over and
done with, a few Bronxdale
High School students, on the
Christopher Columbus Campus,
are going to have some
packing to do.
Thanks to the generous fi -
nancial assistance from Gun
Hill Brewing at 3227 Laconia
Avenue, a very lucky group
of students will be heading to
Costa Rica this summer.
These kids won’t just be
going to soak up some sunrays
or tour the grounds of
the original Jurassic Park,
though. The Bronxdale High
School students will be fi lming,
editing and producing
two separate documentaries:
one about immigration
in Central America, and the
other on a climate change
study that they will be conducting.
As part of the school’s
Global Kids program, the
lucky eight students, accom-
panied by two adults, will begin
their journeyto the east
coast of the nation, working
their way to the nation’s capital,
San Jose, from Saturday,
July 21 to Thursday, August 1.
Gun Hill’s bountiful donation
came about by setting
aside one dollar for every
beer the brewery sold over
the Memorial Day weekend.
“We want to be part of
the community and help the
community so we’re happy
to do this,” said Gun Hill’s
owner Kieran Farrell when
he presented the school with
a check for their trip.
So far, the school has
raised a total of $1,200 for the
trip and is looking to add to
that total.
Bronxdale High School
is still accepting donations
for the trip. Tto donate and
