E Mālama I Ke Kino (Take Care of Your Body)

May 20, 2020

We are a blended learning school focused on teaching through face-to-face, virtual, and independent learning. Many of our students are on their computers for at least 15-20 hours a week. We feel that a void that we have is a lack of focus on physical and mental well being through exercise, health education, and mindfulness exercises. Through this grant, we hope to fund an after school club, called E Mālama I Ke Kino (Take Care of Your Body). We hope to purchase athletic equipment such as hand weights, yoga mats, jump ropes, resistance bands, hula hoops, push up bars, etc. We believe that we can help foster a healthy child by providing physical education through circuit training, health curriculum that includes eating habits, and a social-emotional curriculum that teaches emotional regulation and mindfulness.
