Mahalo nui, to the many Keiki Choir families that helped decorate the trees in Ha’aeamahi Dining Hall for the Christmas concert.  Many hands made for very fast work.  We are very grateful for the help. We were finished in 30 minutes!  Without everyone’s help Mrs. Debus and Mrs. Rosehill would have been here until 8:00! THANK YOU!!

A private word with the children.

After a wonderful presentation at ‘Ohana math night by  Nainoa Thompson the Keiki Choir was honored to share some musical sentiments of mahalo and farewell to the beloved trustee who’s term has ended. He had some very special words for the choir after their performance that we will all cherish. I hope you enjoy the mele, get you tissues ready.
