At the beginning of the 2011/2012 school year, the Pearl City Shopping Center Merchants Association presented four Pearl City District Complex Elementary Schools with a $1000 Gift Certificate donation.
Each of the four schools received 10 – $100 certificates. The Pearl City Shopping Center Merchants Association annually chooses four Pearl City schools to receive a $1000 Gift Certificate donation.
The schools choose how they will spend their donations to best benefit their students and school during the year.
Each year, thank you letters and e-mails are sent to both the Pearl City Shopping Center and MyPearlCity.com from Principals and Teachers expressing their appreciation and examples of how they were able to use the gift certificates to support the different grade levels.
"Each grade level gifted with $100.00 to spend in their classrooms. Thank You Pearl City Shopping Center Merchants!"
