My Project

I am requesting book covers and book binding tape to help keep my students' textbooks for Hawaiian studies clean and to prevent damage so that they can be used for many years to come. I am also requesting snacks to help provide incentives for my students to participate in discussions and class activities.

We are currently learning about the importance of the sugar industry in the 1800s being established in the Hawaiian Islands.

My students complain that the current teacher chair that I have squeaks very loudly each time I move so they asked for me to request a new chair so they can focus on their work and not be distracted by the sound of my chair throughout the day. My students and I are grateful for your donations and thank each one of you.
