My Project

Aloha, donor, my students are curious and bright,

They love to learn and explore what's right.

With board games tied to science goals,

They’ll deepen their knowledge and play those roles.

These games will help them think and solve,

And get away from screens, where they evolve.

Hands-on learning, teamwork, and fun,

They’ll grasp tough concepts while on the run.

My goal is simple, to make them engage,

While strengthening their skills at every stage.

My students are special, eager to try,

With board games, they'll learn, grow, and fly!
