The umbrella – forever a symbol of protection, keeping one safe from the elements while its user moves from Place A to Place B.

By keeping them “under” this cover – endeavouring to protect them from the elements around them – this FLS will seek to re-ignite their love of learning, their curiosity, and their innate need for creative expression.
