Fourt h graders in Ms. Yoshinaga's class donated $200 to Family Programs Hawai‘i in a very creative and educational way. They created a vermicomposting system to keep lunchroom waste to a minimum and turned it into a fundraiser at the same time. The kids are not afraid to get dirty to raise money while keeping their environment clean. The worms handle about half the waste generated from lunchtime for the 370-child student body, while providing a use for shredded school records. The worms were then sold for $5.00 per bag to parents and friends. Next year’s fourth grade class will take over the project when school begins again. Mahalo kids!
