MORE SCHOOLS SERVED BY MORE PARTICIPANTS THIS YEAR!

This effort has once again extended its reach to serve schools in every county in Hawaii as well as covering every category of institution – Public, Private & Charter. In addition, it’s grown from 12 Groups in the 1st year to 40 last year and now we’ve continued that climb to a new high of 70 Participants serving Hawaii schools!

The Hawaii Jaycees’ AASD Representatives and Congressman Charles Djou, an Adopt-A-School Day participant himself, are available for interviews and appearances together during the week of October 4th to talk about the project and its impact on our institutions, our communities and our keiki.

What is School Adoption All About?

On Adopt-A-School Day, Sunday, October 10th, the Hawaii Jaycees and our participating groups will go out to their respective adopted schools and put in a day’s work to serve the needs of that institution. This has taken on new importance in a time when our institutions are truly in need. School adoption takes many forms and has included such great work as:

  • Career Counseling & Workshops
  • Planting of flowers & trees and other landscaping projects
  • Delivery of school supplies collected
  • Long overdue painting of school buildings, playgrounds and parking lots
