MEDIA RELEASE

As part of the Hawaii Jaycees Adopt-A-School Day rally, Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona delivered remarks Saturday commending participants who have volunteered to support Hawaii’s public schools. Aiona also presented a Proclamation declaring Oct. 10 as ‘Adopt-A-School Day’ in Hawaii.

“This event builds momentum leading up to Adopt-A-School Day on Oct. 10 and will serve a way for us to raise awareness in the community about the needs of our local schools,” Aiona said.

The event featured local entertainers, community leaders and groups of volunteers who will put in a day’s work serving the needs of schools they adopt Oct. 10. This year, the Hawaii Jaycees has goal of getting 100 schools adopted to perform various projects, including:

* Career counseling and workshops
* Planting of flowers and trees, and other landscaping projects
* Delivery of school supplies
* Painting of school buildings, playgrounds and parking lots

In addition, attendees that do not have a group were urged to contact their local Jaycee chapter for more information on how they can participate in the program.

“It is great to see all the local businesses, groups and organizations step forward to support our students, teachers and communities,” Aiona said.
