Maui Fire Relief - Lahaina Students need our help
As you are probably aware, families on the northern end of Maui lost everything in a wildfire this past August. Valley View Middle School Builders Club has reached out to Lahaina Intermediate School in Maui, HI. Students have been on distance learning since August and will be able to return to school on October 17th. When on campus students must wear a uniform shirt for school. The cost is roughly $7.00 per shirt. A donation of $35.00 would buy 4 shirts for each student. If you could donate any amount of money to Lahaina Intermediate you will bring relief to a child and their parents to not have this worry about this expense. Donations are needed by November 1, 2023, to get shirts to students in a timely manner.
Checks can be made out to Lahaina Intermediate School with "Uniform Donation" in the memo line.
Turn in checks to the Valley View Office and we will send all donations at one time or mail directly to:
Lahaina Intermediate School

Thank you so much for helping students in need at a time when they and their families have lost everything. Aloha
