Fuel the Fire!

Help me give my students fuel for their bodies and new playground equipment to burn off that energy to keep their bodies and minds ready to learn!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garduque's classroom raised $876

My Project

Please consider helping me fill my haumana’s hungry bellies and give them some new playground equipment to keep their bodies ready to learn!

It’s hard to focus on learning with an empty stomach and no energy to spare!

We are a Title I school with 100% Free breakfast and lunches. Some keiki only eat at school so I want to be able to meet their needs and offer them snacks whenever possible! Please consider helping me fill my snack cabinet for the year!

And new playground equipment will help us burn some energy in a healthy way!
