Volunteers from East Boston Main Streets recently presented the Mario Umana Academy with a check for $2,500 raised through calendar sales.

Grace Magoon, the organization’s treasurer, and board member Marika McKnight recently visited the school to formally present the check to Jim Kearney, dean of students for the Umana Academy, and teacher Julia Brasser.

The East Boston Main Streets calendar for 2012 features historic photos of the neighborhood supplied by the Boston Public Library paired with contemporary images by local artist Leigh Hall. The calendar was designed by graphic designer Todd Antonellis.
