My Project

Students at our school are an extraordinary group of children. We are geographically isolated from the other islands and have limited access to resources for education and basic needs. This project will help build confidence, problem solving techniques, and communication skills needed to succeed in this fast paced world.

By funding this project, the fifth grade students will have hands on access to STEAM.

These students have been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and have lost out on numerous learning opportunities due to absences and school closures. With your help, these students can reach for the stars!

    This project will reach 23 students.
