“Our Kauaiopoly game was a CKMS EAST (Environmental and Spatial Technology) class project involving all the students from beginning to end,” Aiwohi explained.
The students, in grades six to eight, assisted with the solicitation of business sponsors.
“They also contributed ideas and designs that were used in the creation of our box top and game board and, utilizing their talents with graphic design, the students also helped some businesses with their logos,” she continued.
“The students participated in our project’s media campaign, recording radio advertising, and submitting promotional articles to our school newsletter,” said Aiwohi.
