A few words from Daphne Okunaga
Want to join us to make a difference?
Pearl City High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PCHS PTSA/PTA Hawaii Congres) is asking for help raising funds to support our senior students representing Pearl City High School at the national SkillsUSA competition in May in Georgia.
The pandemic has changed everything in the education of our students. The need to protect our communities from the spread of COVID-19 has resulted in many students missing out on crucial high school experiences like games, dances, concerts, plays, college tours, and more. As parents, educators and students, this breaks our hearts and we try to do everything we can to bring these experiences back to our students, so today we ask for your help.
At Pearl City High School, we have a team of 3 seniors (2 for TV production, 1 for photography) who are talented digital media students. You can see some of their work here on PBS Hawaii HIKI NŌ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J09IEE0J1oI These students had the amazing opportunity to compete nationally to showcase their filmmaking and photography skills at the SkillsUSA National Competition in May in Georgia. We desperately want these students to have that national experience, but cost is a barrier.
Participating in this competition will be a powerful networking experience for these students and potentially a launch pad for future college endeavors – we just need to get them to Georgia in May. Any amount of donation helps. If you can’t donate, it helps if you share this story so others can see it on all social media.
With Aloha,
The hopeful parents and teachers trying to make this happen for our students
