2019-2020 Coaches survey

Hawaii LifeSmarts Program coaches share quotes:

“Great learning experience for students!”

“Being this was our first year in the competition we had no expectations other than experience it first hand. We had no idea of how anything worked. A very big Mahalo to Theresa and Gloryana for all their guidance and encouragement. They played major role for our enjoyable experience of Life Smarts. Since the completion of the state final we have had inquiries from numerous underclassmen, freshmen and sophomores, on getting involved in LifeSmarts next school year. ”
