$40,000

Kalama Intermediate School, located on the Western slope of Haleakala in rural Upcountry Maui, welcomes students from five communities (Haiku, Paia, Makawao, Kula and Pukalani) which collectively makes up the largest school district on Maui. R.E.A.C.H. Initiative funding of $40,000 allows Kalama Intermediate School to continue to offer exploratory elective courses, such as media, art, band, ukulele, cooking, sewing, and a Physical Education program, which serves as a model for the Maui District. Existing after school programs which will receive support from additional funding include: the Fishing Club, Future Homemakers of America Club, Chess Club, Engineers Club, and various sports such as, football, basketball, cross country and volleyball. Elective courses and after school programs like these encourage students to remain engaged in school, while preparing themselves for the future.
