7) Good Citizen Award is now renamed.  It is now called the Hāweo Award!  The Hāweo Award for Trimester #1 will focus on the Hawaiian value of Ho’okipa. Ho’okipa: To show hospitality in greeting others; making others feel welcome and included.  Here’s a photo of Mrs. Naeole-Wong demonstrating Ho’okipa at our Welcome Back Assembly. 🙂
