Our Papa ʻEkahi visited Mr. Floro, the sixth grade science teacher, to visit their Middle School Garden. We were treated to dried bananas and fresh coconut. Mr. Floro had Uncle Wally in mind and knew that taking the fresh bananas or the heavy fresh coconut on the Hokuleʻa would not be such a great idea….too big, too bulky and the bananans might get all mashed up. He prepared dried bananas and cut up the coconuts instead!

We are working on getting our very own ʻuala plants in our garden here at the school. We will keep you posted on the progress of that!

Please enjoy this short clip of our visit with Mr. Floro! Aloha!
