Renaissance - Reinforcing, Recognizing, and Rewarding Excellence!
Funded Aug 30, 2024Much Mahalo's (thank you's) from our school for your generous donations and support for our students and Renaissance program. Through our Renaissance program we recognize hundreds of students and staff members daily and monthly. Recognitions such as, student and staff of the month, Up Yours awards, Aidokea awards, Golden Tickets, 4.0 club, Renaissance Dayz, and Perfect Attendance help motivate and encourage our students and staff to strive to be their very best. The snacks and treats are great rewards and incentives that our students/staff love to receive. Celebrating excellence and the accomplishments of our students and staff is a priority and it is exciting to know that we have the support of so many people around the country. We are very grateful and we appreciate your kindness and care. Mahalo!”

Renaissance - Reinforcing, Recognizing, and Rewarding Excellence!
Funded Feb 21, 2024Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation I have for all of you donors that supported our school and students at Lahaina Intermediate School in Lahaina, Maui. We have received many physical, monetary, and emotional supports over the pass nine months and our school and students are thriving. We had 60% of our student body return after the wildfires, and we are continuing to reestablish and build our school culture, programs, and activities. Donors Choose has given us the means to reinforce, recognize, and reward our students and staff through our Renaissance program. We celebrated excellence and recognized students and staff for monthly awards such as, Students and staff of the month, Up Yours awards, Aidokea/improvement awards, Golden Tickets, Imua awards, 4.0 club awards, and reader of the month awards. We provided quarterly rewards such as, Movie day field trip, Leilani's GamesNGrinds, WetNWild, Lahaina Grown/Maoli concert and ice cream sundae awards. Decorating envelopes for nominations and utilizing treats/snacks as rewards has promoted the Renaissance program. Students and staff love receiving their special nominations.
Thank you for your ongoing support.”

The Aloha Project
Funded Nov 27, 2023As a school counselor at Lahaina Intermediate I wanted to be able to support and provide our students with the basic school supplies needed after the deadly wildfires of Lahaina. Nearly 50% of our student body lost their residence on August 8th, 2023. Students and staff were ecstatic to receive school supplies and snacks, like composition books, pencils, pens, and healthy snacks throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters. With many of our families still in hotels and short term rentals, these basic supplies and donations are impactful and critical for their emotional wellbeing.
All of our staff members are trying to make sure that all of our students have their supplies and are ready to learn. A day does not go by that a student is not in need of supplies or a grab and go snack. We appreciate all of the supporters and donors with Donors Choose. Aloha!”
