Papa ʻEkolu participated in their 6th Annual Holiday Gift Giving Project at KS Hawaiʻi. Both Third Grade classes earned over a total of $1000 to purchase needs and wants for their two “adopted” families from H.O.P.E. Services. Watch these presentations created by our haumana to learn more about our service learning project.

Last week William and Kaiwiʻula were recognized along with their families at our monthly Hāweo Luncheon. We are so blessed to have both ʻohana as a part of our kula haʻahaʻa community!
On Monday, members from the Hilo Rotary Club stopped by to visit Papa ‘Ekolu for a special delivery. They brought with them 40 student dictionaries! All the keiki were so very excited to receive their very own mini sized dictionaries. They learned that the longest word in the English language is 1,909 letters long, as well as the symbols for American Sign Language. Who knew a dictionary could provide this type of information?!
The Rotary Club members taught us that they are able to donate these dictionaries to 3rd graders around the island because of their yearly Hilo Huli event. This event’s proceeds go to making the community a better place for all. The next one will take place at Coconut Island on May 1st, 2016. Reserve your tickets today!
Mahalo nui Hilo Rotary Club!
This month we honored Taylor Ayudan and her ‘ohana and Dylan Isidro and his ‘ohana. Mahalo for joining us and letting us celebrate you!
The Perry ʻOhana and ʻAkau ʻOhana sure “glowed” at our Hāweo Luncheon today! Mahalo nui loa for being a part of our kula haʻahaʻa ʻohana. It was great seeing you all at the luncheon.
Join Kula Ha’aha’a in supporting Operation Christmas Child this year by packing a shoe box for a child somewhere around the world. If you want to donate a shoe box please have your keiki bring it to school during the week of November 9th-13th.
“Every shoebox gift delivered by Operation Christmas Child is a tangible expression of God’s amazing love. But a shoebox is just the beginning. It also presents an opportunity in more than 100 countries for our church partners to invite children into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through The Greatest Journey.”
Mahalo nui parents for all your support in helping to make our annual Princess’s Ball a success! The keiki had a great time practicing their dining etiquette, observational & conversational skills, and of course their awesome dancing. Here is a sneak peak of some pictures from our day. Be on the lookout for more photos and videos on your child’s personal blog.
Another mahalo goes out to all our colleagues who also helped to make this event one to remember.
Mahalo to Mr. Aganus, Mrs. Debus, Kumu Wai, Kumu Marcie, Mr. Kamisato, Ms. Galang, Kumu Kanani, Mrs. Isabel, Mrs. Harrington…you are all deeply appreciated.
Mahalo nui to Hāla’i’s mom and great-grandparents and Skailey’s mom and dad for taking time to join us and be honored during our monthly Hāweo luncheon last week. We appreciate you and all that you do for our haumana!
