Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Aloha I amreaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to support our Lahaina Intmediate school students in staying active and engaged by introducing gaga ball to our campus. Gaga ball is a fast-paced, inclusive game that promotes physical activity, teamwork, and social interaction. Our students are eager to embrace this fun and energetic activity, but we need your help to make it a reality.

Your donation will go towards purchasing the necessary gaga ball equipment, ensuring that our middle schoolers have access to a dynamic and enjoyable recreational outlet.

Your support will not only enhance their physical well-being but also foster a sense of aloha, kuleana and lokahi among our keiki. Strengthened Sense of Belonging-He pili wehena ‘ole *

(A relationship that cannot be undone)
