“This is a great way to show kids how to compose and decompose shapes by creating these one-of-a-kind ornaments,” said Nicole Duldulao first grade teacher at Keone’ula Elementary.
The ornaments serve an even bigger purpose, each dedicated to a child in need, with a boy or girl and the age written on the back.
They’re hung on the school Christmas tree where parents, teachers, staff and the community take one, buy a gift for that child then bring it back to the school.
