Subject: Resolution 506-08
To All Council Members,
I am a teacher at Holualoa Elementary who is starting a school garden in conjunction with our after
school program. Our after school program is proving very successful as it is educating our students of
the importance of sustainability and conservation, as well as giving them a healthy alternative for after
school activities.
As our garden program grows, we are building wonderful community partnerships with parents, local
farmers and nursery owners, other Hawai'i Island public and private schools, and non-profits as Amy
Greenwell Ethnobotanical Gardens. These partnerships are only strengthening our efforts.
Resolution 506-08 known as the School Garden Project will support such after school programs as the
one at Holualoa Elementary and many other school gardens throughout our community. Please support
this Resolution, and in doing so you will be supporting the keiki of Hawai'i Island.
Mahalo nui loa!
