My Project
Our first graders at MES are amazing! They love to learn, and they especially love to create.
We want to help them make beautiful art, organize their supplies, and feel proud of who they are and where they come from.
Right now, our art supplies are a bit old and messy. It's hard for our young artists to really express themselves when they don't have good materials. We also need things to keep our art supplies neat and tidy, which helps us learn to be responsible. Many of our students are Native Hawaiian and we want them to see themselves, their culture, and their amazing history reflected in the art we make. When children see people who look like them and stories that are part of their heritage, it helps them feel strong, proud, and included.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
