The day before school started, eight new 4th graders and one new 5th grader got together with their buddies at kula haʻahaʻa during our annual Buddy Day. Students spent the day getting to know their buddies with fun activities like the Spaghetti Tower Challenge. Together with their buddies, the new students got to visit their classrooms and meet their teachers. They also learned about the use of their planners, behavior expectations and the dress code. All students left the day feeling more comfortable and ready to start a new year at Kula Haʻahaʻa.
