FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nakashima's classroom raised $745

My Project

Hawaii offers our students the opportunity to take the PreACT (9th & 10th graders) and ACT (11th graders) for free. We do a special schedule testing day where we take either the PreACT or ACT test. This testing opportunity is important because the ACT is a college preparatory test and through the MyACT account students can do career and college exploration while using their scores as guidelines. The scores are also being used to help scholarship committees determine awardees. Giving them this free opportunity, we want to support them so they can do their best.

There are many supplies that are beyond what our classrooms have that need to be provided to meet the ACT guidelines and to support students success in taking the test.

Secondary clocks are for classrooms that need them. Calculators, for students who do not have one at home, will help them during the test. Pencils for all students remove the worry of bringing the right type of pencil for the test. Whiteboard markers ensure they know their start and stop times. These are all supplies needed to ensure student success and that testing runs smoothly.
