My Project

Dear Donors:

We are thrilled to be organizing an unforgettable end-of-the year celebration for our 8th grade students at the Pukalani Community Center on the beautiful island of Maui.

This event is a momentous occasion for our students as they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their academic journey. We aim to create a magical and enchanting experience that they will cherish forever.

Theme: Starry Nights Masquerade

Our chosen theme is a "Starry Night Masquerade," where we want to transform the community center into a celestial wonderland filled with mystery and excitement. The venue will be adorned with starry backdrops, twinkling lights, and masquerade masks, creating an ambiance that reflects the brilliance of our students. The items requested will help black out the windows and cover all of the tables, giving us a blank canvas to begin our transformation.

We are reaching out to our generous community and donors to make this celebration truly special. Your support will contribute to creating an enchanting atmosphere for our 8th graders, making their end-of-the-year celebration a memory they will cherish forever.

Thank you for considering our project and for being a part of the magic that will make this event extraordinary.

With gratitude,

Kalama Intermediate School 8th Grade Banquet Committee

Ms. Montalvo Samuel Enoka Kalama Intermediate School Grades 6-8
