Operation School Bell
Letter of appreciation from Kahalu’u Elementary School
How can we begin the thank you??? Gerri, you and your Assistance League has definitely made a significant impact on the behavior and unification of our students… It’s funny how a tee-shirt can bring children (and staff) together… Our Kahalu’u shirt, represents pride, cooperation, and togetherness. When our kids feel apart of our Kahalu’u Ohana, their behavior is greatly improved… We emphasis pride in being from Kahalu’u. Pride in being a part of an Ohana, and pride in working together. Field trips are the perfect time to see and even feel the unity and pride our students have while showing off our amazing shirts… It’s a sad but true fact that we have several families who live in their cars, live in a home with very few items, and live with no ” personal items.” For some of our kiddos, this shirt represents a personal item that belongs to them. This shirt teaches them that they are a part of a group of people who love them, and care about them… I know that your generosity and kindness is discussed by each teacher to our students… We are so honored that you allow us to teach our children the ” Pass It On” lesson. Someday, these Kahalu’u Keiki will in turn come back to make a difference in other communities. Your Support and Aloha is inspiring…
Mahalo Gerri and Ladies… Love from the children of Kahalu’u

Teacher, Kahalu’u Elementary School
