Holy Nativity School

🥚💥 Will it survive?!

Our 3rd and 4th grade inventors spent the week taking on the classic Egg Drop Challenge. Armed with recycled materials, big ideas, and a little bit of courage, they designed, built, tested, tweaked, and tested again before the final drop.

Some eggs flew. Some bounced. Some... became breakfast. 😆

Along the way, students learned that great engineering is all about creativity, problem-solving, and not giving up when your first design doesn’t quite crack the challenge.

As we wrap up an incredible school year, we’re also wrapping up one unforgettable Giving Week at HNS. 💙

And what a week it was…

✅ 100% participation from current HNS families
✅ 100% participation from our Board of Trustees
✅ 100% participation from faculty & staff
🎓 50+ alumni and alumni families helped unlock the full $7,500 Alumni Giving Challenge
💛 30+ kūpuna and extended ʻohana families helped unlock the full $20,000 Kūpuna Giving Challenge
🌟 Nearly $90,000 raised for the HNS Fund!

Throughout the week, students explored philanthropy through classroom conversations, activities, and stories about giving back. And in one of the sweetest surprises of the week, a record number of student donations came in alongside family gifts. From carefully counted coins to $10 donations from our youngest Hawks, students wanted to be part of the giving too.

Small school. Big heart. Bold impact.

Mahalo for showing up for our school and each other in such a beautiful way. 💙
