In a couple short weeks North Huron is providing a unique experience for 10 students by coordinating a study abroad to Costa Rica. Participating students will learn about Costa Rica’s culture, sustainability in agriculture, natural resources, school life in Costa Rica, and will also be able to explore the country. The trip is planned for May 5-12, 2019. From learning a few phrases in Spanish in order to speak with locals to learning what to pack for weather on the equator everyone is getting very excited. After an early morning flight we will make the drive towards the Arenal Area where students will enjoy a once in a lifetime experience visiting the Arenal Volcano. Then we will drive through the cloud-forest where dairy farming is the main industry in Costa Rica. We will then make our way down to the northern plains where yucca, pineapple, and papaya are the main crop. So many different styles of Agriculture. There is so much to talk about from mono-culture, permaculture, biodynamics, carbon-farming, and organic farming. To learn more about our daily adventures while we are traveling we will be posting on our blog! You can help students attend this educational trip with financial help. The estimated total cost of the trip is $3,000 per student. North Huron Schools are still seeking donations to help lower the cost for the students these last couple weeks leading up to the event. We welcome all donations even in smaller amounts. Checks may be made out to North Huron Schools. If you have any questions or are interested in donating please feel free to contact the North Huron Agriscience Teacher, Joe Ankley, at [email protected], or 810-247-3680, or visit http://northhuronag.weebly.com/costa-rica-2019.html. |
