My Students

The mind, body, and spirit are all integral aspects of any student's experience with learning. Adults that realize that the full potential of a student is determined by that student's motivation and intrinsic desire to learn, have the power to make real change in a child's learning. Thank you for being that powerful adult in my students' learning experiences.

What makes my students special is they are so hungry-for-learning, easily engaged in new ideas and concepts, and deeply connected to their home Hawaii.

My Project

Our community is built on farming sugar cane. Now we produce over 47% of our communities gross food supply. Our students come from farm families and are interested in taking their farm production in new directions. Students think hydroponic garden are better for the environment that traditional garden and that they are cheaper and more reliable for global food production. Help us test our ideas.

What we need is a small hydroponic system with some organic chemicals, replacement materials, measurement tools, and notebook tools like rulers, tape, and scissors such the students can tape in photos and record their data.

This is an inexpensive, small scale grant and we would really appreciate being able to compare the traditional garden production and a cost vs. the hydroponic methods.
