Bottle Cap Collection
The Kokua Hawaii Foundation will not be having a plastic bottle cap collection drive this year. Instead, they are asking interested parties to create a mural using bottle caps and other marine debris.
The winning entries will be featured in a KHF calendar.
While we see the value in promoting awareness of important environmental issues such as marine debris and the negative effects it has on our oceans, Mililani 'Ike will not be participating in this activity this school year.
We'd like to sincerely thank all of you for collecting and turning in your bottle caps. With your support, Mililani 'Ike placed first in the state last year for total weight of bottle caps collected.
With our decision not to participate in the mural contest, we ask that you please not drop off bottle caps at the school. We will be looking for a participating school to donate the caps collected so far this year.
HI-5 Recycling Drive for Wounded Warrior and Tripler Fisher House
We will be having a HI-5 Recycling Drive on January 29, 2015 during Spirit Week. One of our Spirit Week Themes will be a "Support our Military Day!" so all funds raised will be donated to two wonderful charities that support our military. Wounded Warrior Project is an organization that works to empower injured service members and their family members. Tripler Fisher House is a "home away from home" for families and patients receiving medical care at Tripler Army Medical Center. Last year we collected 70 bags during our HI-5 collection and this year our goal is 100 bags to be eligible for the pick up of our items. If each 'Ike family donates half a garbage bag of containers we will exceed our goal!
