The culminating event for our Princess Pauahi research unit is our Princess’s Ball. This annual event will be held for Papa ‘Ekolu haumana on Thursday, October 22nd. Students will start off the day by taking a walking tour through the Panaewa Zoo to appreciate the outdoors, which our princess loved so dearly. A luncheon will follow at the Wainaku Executive Center, and students will show off their dancing skills by doing a waltz.
It is not necessary to purchase special attire for the ball, but students are asked to wear their Sunday best. For girls, we recommend a simple party dress with covered sandals or sandals with a back strap. Same school rules apply- no spaghetti, halter or strapless dresses, unless a coverup is used with it. Heels should be low and comfortable as students will be doing a reasonable amount of walking throughout the day. Boys should wear a nice collared shirt or aloha shirt with dress slacks (uniform pants are okay as well) and covered shoes.
Students should be fully dressed and ready for this event when they arrive to school. Mr. Kamisato will be taking pictures for us following morning oli. All interested parents may take their own pictures at this time, but please be aware that the bus will leave by 8:45 a.m. and we cannot afford to be delayed. Only parents that volunteered to chaperone or help with this event are permitted to be at the Wainaku Executive Center during our luncheon. We are scheduled to return after lunch.
