Help Bring Joy to Our Families This Holiday Season!
This holiday season, we’re seeking partnerships with local community organizations to support ULA families in need through our Harvest of Hope and Giving Tree programs.
Harvest of Hope provides Thanksgiving meals to families facing hardship.
Giving Tree helps ensure children and families receive meaningful Christmas gifts.
If you or your organization would like to get involved or learn more, please contact us at (850) 361-3277 or email information@umbrellalearningacademy.com.
A heartfelt thank-you to our generous sponsors for supporting the Harvest of Hope Drive!
Your kindness, compassion, and willingness to give have made a profound impact on our ULA families. Because of your extraordinary contributions, we were able to double our initial goal and provide full holiday meals for 11 families—surpassing last year’s efforts and bringing comfort and joy to even more households in our community.
Your generosity reflects the true spirit of the season and reminds us of the power of coming together to uplift one another. The smiles, relief, and gratitude expressed by our families are a direct result of your willingness to step in and make a difference. We are deeply grateful for your partnership, your trust, and your belief in the work we do.
We extend our warmest appreciation to our sponsors:
Community Sponsors
• Ryan Cardoso with Cardoso Law
• Kelsea B. with East Hill Benefits
Family Sponsors
• The Mohammed Family
• The Cochran Family
Thank you for helping us provide hope, nourishment, and meaningful memories this holiday season. We truly could not have done this without each of you, and we are honored to have you as part of our ULA community.

Umbrella Learning Academy students actively participate with Escambia County 4-H. Our students participate in 4-H activities every Friday during club and elective times! Every student participates in activities with their age group on a regular basis with activities in STEM, Agriculture, Life Skills, and more! At the beginning of school, we elect officers to run our once a month club meetings. In September and October, we create booths for the Pensacola Interstate Fair. Last year, 23-24, we had four booths and each did very well. We earned $780 our club to help with fees for 4-H Day at the Capitol. During November, we use our 4-H time to prepare for our International Day. Each year, in the spring, our students have the opportunity to travel to Tallahassee for a "Day at the Capitol. Our students can explore the capitol buildings| museums and learn about our state government. Each family must register every year.
