SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE

to support our local keiki in being school-ready this year!

No child should go without school supplies that make their educational experience productive. Many students prefer to skip classes instead of returning with last year’s used supplies and backpacks. They may feel ashamed for having to go without the supplies or experience being different from their peers. Without support and encouragement, these students may begin to fall behind in school or develop problematic behaviors that negatively impact their learning and progress. We invite you to join SMPS in this effort and make a difference with our keiki community.
