· Be a part of a real life treasure hunt. For many years Costa’s senior classes purchased and donated paintings to our school. They used to be displayed in the office, library, auditorium, etc. The list of these donations totals thirty-nine (39). We can readily find thirteen (13), between the office and the library that are displayed on walls. Please help us find the Mira Costa family treasures. If you have ever seen paintings of any size in a closet, storage room, back room, or on the wall of any office, classroom, or facility... anywhere on this campus, or even at the district office, please let Mr. Currier know or any member of the History Project class. Stop by Room 222, leave a note in Currier's mailbox, or have it written on the side of the Goodyear Blimp. We need everyone’s help.
