My Project

This project will help to provide essential supplies for our special education students at a Title I school on Oahu.

Many of the students we serve face unique challenges, and creating a classroom environment that is both welcoming and supportive is key to their success.

With your generous support, we can provide them with:

Classroom decor that creates a calm, organized space to enhance learning. Art supplies to help students express their creativity and build confidence through hands-on projects. Fidget toys to help them focus, manage stress, and stay engaged throughout the day.

These supplies will help foster an environment where our students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives of our students, helping them build the skills they need to thrive both in and outside the classroom.

Thank you for considering a gift to our classroom. Your kindness will make a lasting impact on these young learners, helping them to reach their full potential.

Mahalo for your support!
