My Project

Our seven hundred plus students are unique for a variety of reasons. Students range from Native Hawaiian descent to students who have recently arrived to our islands. The academic and social range of our student body is vast. Each student is special and brings diversity to our student population. Hawaii really is the “mixing pot.” Each student's life experience is unique, but one thing is the same for all families in Hawaii. All families are still dealing with the effects of pandemic and the delicate economic system.

These school materials like STEM kits, mirrors, river rocks, wood glue, Tacky glue, and marble run kits will provide students with engaging academic STEM lessons while providing social and academic support.
