My students are from the area in and around a small, former plantation town on the north side of Hawaii Island. My students are ethnically diverse with many of their families having lived here for multiple generations. Families are very important here.
The community my students come from is mostly agriculture, farming, and ranching; however, after the close of the sugarcane plantation, many now commute to jobs that serve the tourist industry.
Sixty plus percent of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The building where my students attend art class was built in 1926, and our school itself was established in 1889.
As an educator, my goal is to create a learning environment where the student's voice is empowered and a love for lifelong learning instilled. I want to provide a safe, inspiring atmosphere where students from diverse cultures, perspectives, and abilities are encouraged to engage in creative thinking and exploration.
My Project
These supplies will help start a small boutique at our school. The boutique will support our Fashion Design students and help them learn the skills needed to work in the fashion industry. It will also support our underserved students by providing a place where they can obtain the clothes they need free of charge.
My art students will be supported with new materials in the art classroom.
All of the supplies will benefit students in our Project Based and Teaching for Artistic Behavior classrooms which promote a growth based mindset.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
