My Project

Help Us Build Our Classroom Ohana

For the second year, I’m bringing my Lilo & Stitch-inspired Ohana theme back to my classroom because its message represents exactly what I want my students to feel each day:

“Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind.”

I want my classroom to be more than a place where children come to learn. I want it to be a place where they feel calm, safe, loved, welcomed, and supported.

This project will help me create a comfortable and calming learning environment where every student feels like they belong. It will also provide snacks for hungry little stomachs, because when students’ basic needs are met, they can better focus on learning, growing, and being their best selves.

Our classroom Ohana is built on love, learning, kindness, and belonging, and with your help, we can make sure no child feels left behind.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
