Students impacted by the fire have refused to let this deter
them. They meet daily during the school week, many times under a
simple tent at the local park, to meet, discuss, and complete their
assignments.
This success has been made possible by the quick thinking of St.
Michael School of Oahu, a virtual program that supports students
from Sacred Hearts. They provided complimentary licenses and
teaching services from Stride. Additionally, the Hawaii Department
of Education (HIDOE) swiftly utilized and dispersed approximately
400 complimentary licenses for disaster relief for children in Maui
impacted by the fires.
“Hawaii families are resilient. They want to move forward. And
thanks to the help from our Stride K12 partners, our teachers have
been able to directly support students and families during these
trying times,” said Dallas Carter, Principal, St. Michael School.
“This partnership serves as a testament to the impactful work we do
and the difference we make in the lives of those we serve.”
