My Students

The majority of the students at Nanakuli High and Intermediate come from low socioeconomic families. They face struggles everyday and for the most part, they still come to school with a smile on their face. They wear their emotions on their sleeve and I love that about them. I believe our students need support beyond the classroom. They need to be shown that they can be successful even if they are struggling in the classroom with the normal school atmosphere. There are outlets for them such as sports, drama club, lifting weights, etc... that can provide them a safe haven and help them be successful.

My Project

We need dumbbells to relieve stress in these times and afford the students an opportunity to get a good workout in so they can stay healthy. We are doing cardio exercises but students are more interested in lifting weights. Our weight room does not have but one set of dumbbells which limits how many kids can be in the weight room at once. If we were funded another set, we would be able to double the amount of students who could use the weight room. This would also allow for more circuit type training which would be really valuable for the students.
