100 Club Members

Posted on May 17, 2013 by mamanlig

Congratulations to the keiki in the pic below for making it into our 100 Club! These keiki mastered their multiplication facts and proved it by scoring 100% on a timed test. Their hard work and dedication to studying really paid off. On Monday these students will celebrate this great accomplishment by partaking in a pizza party at lunch.

One of the expectations of 4th Grade is that the haumāna enter the new school year with mastery of their basic multiplication facts. It is very important that ALL haumāna continue to study these consistently throughout the summer months. When school starts, the students who invested time to study during their vacation will truly be thankful.100 Club

Two of our helpful students from 3B were honored today at a special luncheon in the dining hall. Tyce and Kalāhiki received the Hāweo Award for May for their kōkua. It was extra special because their ‘ohana was able to celebrate with them as they were recognized today.

Keep up the great work, boys!

E Hele Mai… It’s May Day!

Posted on May 2, 2013 by mamanlig

Our haumāna are so excited to perform for you at their annual May Day Program being held tomorrow at 8:30 A.M. Please join us for a morning of traditional and contemporary song and dance as we gather together on the lawn in front of Hā’aeamahi.

As a reminder, students should wear their own Hawaiian attire to school tomorrow. They may wear slippers or sandals as they will all be dancing barefoot. Girls, please pull your hair neatly back into a low bun, if possible. For girls with short hair, just pull your hair away from your face as best you can.

Parents, please feel free to kōkua with dressing the students in Kīna’u Pod between 7:15 and 8:00 A.M. All costumes should be returned to the teacher before dismissal from school.

Enjoy the program!

IMPORTANT May Day Information

Posted on April 19, 2013 by mamanlig

Kumu Crabbe has informed Papa ‘Ekolu of a change in May Day attire for our boys. Boys do NOT need to purchase their own long sleeved white collared shirts. Kumu will be providing shirts for the boys to wear, and boys need to wear their own long, blue uniform pants.

There are no changes for the girls. They are to wear a mu’umu’u to school and will change into a skirt and blouse that will be distributed on May Day. All costumes must be returned to the teacher before going home that day.

Mahalo for your understanding and cooperation.
