E & K Kindness Drive

We at Holomua would like to acknowledge the compassion and initiative of two of our students-- Ellie and Kylla -- who decided to hold the E & K Kindness Drive in February as a way to give back to the community. They collected items to donate to two charities close to their hearts -- the Oahu Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) and Shriners Hospitals for Children. Ellie and Kylla, with help from their classmate Ileana, worked tirelessly every day collecting items from the donation boxes around campus and organizing the donations in their classroom. Thank you, girls, for your compassion and dedication! We are so proud of you!
