Candy grams, consisting of a piece of candy and a note that will be hand-delivered to recipients Oct. 31, were sold for $2 each. Candy grams will continue to be sold in the Commons during Access and both lunches through Oct. 27. All proceeds go to Maui wildfire relief and recovery efforts. “[I bought one] for Mrs. Dale, from Andrew.

Who doesn’t love a little lollipop?” Reporting by Claire Bauer (media by Claire Bauer)
