My Project

At our school, our students are mainly Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders who live on Hawaiian Homestead. These students come from the Leeward Coast of Oahu, Nanakuli, Maili, Wai'anae, and Makaha. Our students are resilient, socially responsible, and resourceful.

As another wonderful school year draws to a close for my excellent kindergarten, first, and second graders, I dream of a sweet way to celebrate their hard work, growth, and accomplishments!

What better way to bring smiles to their faces than with a fun and exciting candy buffet? Imagine the joy on their faces as they get to choose from a colorful array of treats. For this project, we request various individually wrapped and boxed candies.

This candy buffet will be a special treat and a memorable way to build classroom community and acknowledge their efforts throughout the year. It's a small gesture that will significantly impact them, leaving them with sweet memories of their time in our classroom. Your generous contribution will help make this end-of-year celebration a truly special experience for my students. Thank you for considering supporting our sweet send-off!
