Snack Shack

Every Saklan student knows how rewarding a snack can be at the end of a busy day of learning and having fun with one another here at school. Our dedicated and resourceful Student Council has been busy planning the return of Snack Shack this year!

Student Council officers and representatives in grades 1 through 8 selected the final items for sale based on desirability, minimizing waste, and setting reasonable prices ranging from 50 cents to $3.00 per item. Yummy snacks for sale this year will include: Goldfish crackers, gummies, chips, Veggie Straws, Hello Panda, Pirate’s Booty, Rice Krispies treats, La Croix bubble water, Honest Juice, and Martinelli’s apple drinks. 

Last year’s Student Council voted to allocate most of the proceeds from Saklan’s Snack Shack to support Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, a non-profit organization. Their mission is to inspire communities to care about coastlines. Additionally, each February, our 7th-grade students have the opportunity to work with this organization to clean up a section of Waikiki Beach in Oahu, Hawaii, helping to reduce the amount of microplastics in the local environment. Last year, our Saklan students sifted the sand and removed 30 pounds of microplastics! By purchasing snacks at Snack Shack, this money is converted into donations to support Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii’s vital work. Stay tuned for which charity or cause this year’s Student Council selects!

Snack Shack will open outside David’s office from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Thursday.  Saklan students are invited to come by and purchase a snack from our hardworking Student Council members. Cash only, please.

Drop off non-perishable food items in the containers located outside the Saklan office. All collection containers will remain on campus until Thanksgiving Break.
