You can help! For years, the Hawaii State Department of Education has been working to cool classrooms. This year, recordbreaking heat and humidity are making matters worse.

(Please contact the principal first for any equipment, labor or money donations you wish to make directly to a school.)

EQUIPMENT (SCHOOL-LEVEL)
