My Project

Our keiki (children) are eager to explore the world around them through hands-on, engaging activities that spark their imagination and deepen their learning. To support their growth in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), we are hoping to bring magnetic building blocks into our classroom.

Magnet blocks are more than just toys, they're tools for discovery.

With these blocks, our students will be able to build structures, test balance and symmetry, explore magnetic forces, and collaborate with peers to bring their ideas to life. These experiences foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork, all while nurturing their love of learning.

Our school community is filled with bright, resilient learners, and your support would mean the world to them. Your generous donation will give our kindergartners access to resources that will make STEAM learning exciting, meaningful, and accessible.

Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) for considering a gift that will make a lasting impact in our classroom. With your help, we can turn everyday lessons into extraordinary adventures.
