My Project

Help our Hawaiian language immersion students promote the Hawaiian language in Hawaiian Language Month in February 2024!

Engage and Empower with Creativity in Spreading Hawaiian Language Awareness!

Our goal is to empower our Hawaiian language immersion students to raise awareness and celebrate the beauty of the Hawaiian language during Hawaiian Language Month in February 2024. We believe that creativity is the key to spreading the language, and we are seeking your support in providing a Cricut machine and accessories.

Unleash Creativity Through Advertisements, Stickers, T-shirts, and Awards!

With the help of the Cricut machine and its versatile accessories, our students will have the means to create captivating advertisements that resonate with their peers. They will express their love for the Hawaiian language by designing eye-catching stickers, unique T-shirts, and special awards.

Spark Interest and Strengthen Language Appreciation!

By utilizing the Cricut machine, our students will have the opportunity to showcase their creativity and ignite a passion for the Hawaiian language
