MMS News Release

Do you want to be a part of Molokai Middle School’s “I Am Loved” campaign? The I Am Loved (IAL) project helps build relationships and expresses through visual pictures the message of love. The IAL project is part of a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports pilot program created and initiated by MMS Behavioral Specialist Kim Lani. She says the intent is to “strengthen bonds between students, loved ones and the community.” According to Lani, the IAL project boldly proclaims that everyone is loved and teaches youth that feeling and showing love is a normal, healthy and an expected positive behavior.

Social media such as Facebook and Instagram are being utilized to share photos and help spread the positive vibe. Recently, the community was tapped into participating. You may recognize the photos with the many faces of Molokai business owners and employees. The project is also catching wind in other schools across the nation, including schools in California.
