Holiday Gift Giving Project

Papa ‘Ekolu went shopping today at Target to help bring joy and cheer to two families in need. This was part of a Social Studies Unit in Economics where students learned about the basics to our nation’s system dealing with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and service.

In addition, students learned about the true meaning of Kahiau- giving without expecting anything in return. Students and teachers contributed monies totaling to a whopping $1,300. But first, students had to sacrifice their time and energy to earn the money that they donated. Great job, keiki!!!

Mahalo nui loa to our chaperones (Aunties and Uncles) for helping with the shopping and decision making: Abby, Kaz, Janine, Suzie, Sandy, Chuck, Tiffanie, Kanoe Awong, Kanoe Puuohauand Allison. Mahalo to Kumu and Mrs. Statler for your help, too!

The two families will be getting a variety of gifts, including some of their needs and hopefully meeting some of their wants as well. Here are some pictures from our shopping trip to Target.
