My Project

Empower my vibrant first-grade learners in the heart of Hawaii with essential learning tools! My students are a diverse and enthusiastic group, brimming with curiosity and a deep desire to learn. Many come from homes with limited resources, making access to engaging educational materials a significant challenge. This DonorsChoose project aims to bridge that gap by providing crucial supplies like phonics and math games, which transform learning into an exciting adventure.

We also need fundamental tools like pencils, dice, markers, erasers, and age-appropriate books that spark imagination and build literacy skills.

These resources will directly support hands-on learning, strengthen fundamental skills, and cultivate a love for learning in my students, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed. In a state where cultural richness meets educational need, your support will make a lasting impact on these bright young minds.
