Message from Hawaiian Studies Teacher Mele-Aina Wood

We are so grateful to our community for all the support we have received over the past 65 years. You make us strong and we cannot thank you enough. Because of you, the school has been able to support families and staff in times of great stress, uncertainty and need.

One of the things we think most people have gained during this pandemic is an even greater appreciation for education and educators. And, we’ve seen just how much parents want to keep their kids at Assets School for all of the life-changing reasons you know well. With you, we stand strong in our commitment to emerge from this pandemic as the premier school for students who learn differently, and to ensure they get what they need.

Hawaiian Studies teacher Mele-Aina Wood shares how important it is to pay it forward because someday those children, who have benefitted from your generosity, will be the ones giving back: https://youtu.be/d42FgQzmjws
