Pomaika'i Elementary School

Our goal is to create a sustainable outdoor classroom where the children can explore, witness and participate in endless oppertunities to learn about ecology, Hawaiian culture, nutrition and mutuial respect for each other, oneself and the natural world, among many other diciplines. We aspire to create a space that lends itself to all grade levels and all teaching styles. We aim to foster the enthusiasm the children demostrate by asking to participate in the school garden club and not have to limit their desires to participate due to space. To cultivate an atmosphere where students develop healthy lifestyles through eating the fruits and vegetables that fuel healthy bodies and enables them to be physically active in the garden space. The Whole foods grant will enable us the resources to create a more encompassing curriculum and more opportunities for the children to actively cultivate food that will influence the students to make healthy lifestyles choices for the future.
