My Students

The school is situated in a rural area in the westernmost part of O'ahu, Hawaii. Our children face daily challenges and desperately need our support and care. We serve the highest population of students who are in poverty and lack reliable transportation.

I believe education is a priority and it should not be hindered for those that come from low-socioeconomic neighborhoods.

For most of them, it is difficult to get the basic school supplies that are needed to learn. Please join me in supporting our students that need a leg up in our society.

My Project

Do you remember what it was like to be a kid discovering all of the amazing wonders of science and the natural world? My students have a high interest in science and technology but do not always have the resources needed to help their interests come alive. Students need these fun hands-on materials to continue to engage in their learning, explorations, and discoveries! These STEM materials will provide students with the opportunity to participate in engineering design challenges, experiments, and lots of hands-on projects that incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics! These delicious snack packs will also help our students to keep their energies up throughout the school day.
