Harvest Preparatory puts on “Tunnel of Lights” in San Luis and Yuma
SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Harvest Preparatory School is bringing holiday cheer to the community by challenging its students to combine creativity, cultural learning, and service through a festive initiative known as the “Tunnel of Lights.”
The event is being held at both of the school’s campuses in San Luis and Yuma, where families and community members can drive through illuminated holiday displays in exchange for a charitable donation. Admission requires either a five-dollar donation or three cans of food per vehicle, all of which will be donated to support the homeless and those in need.
More than 600 students from Harvest Preparatory participated in creating the displays, which feature Christmas themes inspired by countries from around the world. Students were divided into groups and worked alongside their teachers to bring these international concepts to life, after lessons studied in their social studies classes.
Harvest Preparatory CEO Debra Ybarra emphasized that the event is rooted in giving back to the community. She explained that while the collection of food donations is an important component, the broader goal is to create a meaningful and uplifting experience for families and children during the holiday season.
The Tunnel of Lights event in Yuma runs from December 19 through December 23. In San Luis, the event takes place on December 22 and 23, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., offering residents an opportunity to celebrate the season while supporting those in need.
