Event hosted by children raises more than $2,000 for those in need

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- For the fourth year in a row, students at Esprit International School donned their Santa hats and angel wings and raised money that was then donated to Star of Hope.

Rosemary Brumbelow, founder and head of the K-12 private school based in The Woodlands, recently took her students on a day trip to the Houston Star of Hope center, where they presented a check for $2,155 – raised by individual and group fundraising efforts – and toured the facilities.

Kathrin Yokubaitis, manager of community relations and events at Star of Hope, gratefully accepted the check and conducted the tour.
