Lahaina Intermediate's Renaissance Program

Help me give my students the snacks and materials needed for our Renaissance program and their mental health and well being!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kua'ana's classroom raised $750

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I am requesting will help to support our Renaissance program which is interrelated to their learning. Students strive to do better in their studies and are rewarded for the gains they make. Our Renaissance program focuses on students striving for excellence in all areas of their lives. It also focuses on the well being of all students!

My goal for this project is to be able to provide snacks for students who have been nominated and who have strived to bring up their grades and behavior.

It also allows us to aid in providing snacks to those students who are still living in transitional housing (which makes it difficult to have snacks on hand due to limited space) after the 2023 wild fires in Lahaina.

Lahaina Intermediate students are special because they are very resilient given the traumas they have had to endure during covid and again during and after the Lahaina wild fires.
