HONOLULU (HI Now) - Since 2009, Hawaii State FCU’s Investing in Education program has awarded more than 800 grants totaling nearly $400,000 to Hawaii Department of Education public school classroom teachers across the state. Schools like Kaimuki High School have used these teacher grants to provide their students with better access to hands-on learning. Special Education teacher Tui Moe worked with her students to create a school garden with the help of planters and a composter that were purchased through the Investing in Education program. Not only has this helped to enhance her community-based education curriculum, but the school is now working with Hawaii State FCU’s financial education program to provide financial literacy classes to students.
This year’s Investing in Education program is accepting applications for teacher grants now through April 1. For more information, visit www.HawaiiStateFCU.com.
