My Project

My students are humble, loving, and passionate.

Despite the challenges they face, they care about each other, their families, and their education.

They possess a very giving attitude as most of them to know what it's like to have very little. Your donation will provide the classroom environment that they need.

Covid 19 greatly affected their ability to connect learning and their culture. On a daily basis, we strive to create place-based learning opportunities to inspire our predominate Native Hawaiian student population.

By providing the carving and printing tools you will ensure these students have the opportunity to connect to their culture and advance their academic learning by creating block-printed items, Resin jewelry, and carved bamboo implements inspired by Native Hawaiian Culture.

Ms. G. Nanakuli High & Intermediate School Grades 9-12
