Bee-Friendly & Earth-Friendly Fourth Graders!

Help me give my students reusable water bottles and bee-friendly seeds to be more eco friendly and conscious.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shinshiro's classroom raised $335

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year our fourth grade team teamed up with Hawaii Wildlife Fund to help educate our fourth graders about marine debris and its direct effects on our Hawaiian islands and wildlife.

Help our fourth graders extend this knowledge and yearning to be eco-conscious.

We are asking for bee-friendly seeds, soil, and bio-degradable pots to plant bee-friendly flowers. We are also asking for reusable water bottles to help our student reduce their single use plastics. This pencil station will also help them keep track of their pencils and reduce having to replace them so often.
