  • COSTA RICA CULTURAL TRIP Students from US a Through US E Had the Opportunity to Visit This Unique Hispanic Country with So Much to Offer
    SUMMER 2017 COSTA RICA CULTURAL TRIP Students from US A through US E had the opportunity to visit this unique Hispanic country with so much to offer. They learned about the culture, ecology and environmental efforts. Students visited several national parks, two volcanoes, a beautiful beach, a rainforest situated along the Pacific coast and a wildlife refuge. They hiked to and swam in the basin of a water- fall and enjoyed bathing in the thermal springs. Students visited an organic farm where they had interactive experiences such as making sugar cane juice, sampling raw cacao and many types of exotic fruits. They also made tortillas and took part in a coffee tour. Students were able to observe an abundance of wildlife, including coatimundis, kinkajous, crocodiles, sloths, iguanas, different species of birds and butterflies and various types of monkeys. Everyone had a great time zip -lining and white water rafting. The students were also involved in a community service project: painting an underprivileged prima- ry school and bringing them school supplies earned through a successful Lee Academy fundraiser. The city tour of San Jose was a great cultural experience and they visited places such as the Art Museum, National Theatre, National Sta- dium and the presidential home. Most importantly, students learned about the culture through contact with the locals, exchanging currency, trying typical foods, shopping at the markets and participating in folkloric dances. NIGHT OF THE ARTS Inherit the Wind - A diverse group of actors from Lee Academy’s Upper and Lower School (along with a few parents and teachers) presented a riveting rendi- tion of this classic play.
