Ohana Alert for the Week of Nov. 20-24

Brr…can you feel it?  The chill in the air?  December is fast approaching as we prepare to finish out the month of November!  Mahalo for all the donations to our shoeboxes for Christmas Child for children who are in need!  Kahiau at its finest!  Kaʻu Iʻa:  please send ohana pics from SLC to me 🙂

Mon., Nov. 20-Day 4, Rotation 1:  “A Taste of Thanksgiving Pilina Paʻina” today in our pod!  The festivities begin @ 1:15-2:30pm!  Mahalo to our fab PTO reps Pua and Trisha for organizing this for us as we focused on SLC.  Join us for a time to just launa!  Mahalo!

Tues., Nov. 21-Day 5: Sub Mr. Carvalho in class today as I will be at an all day meeting/math training.  Choir conductor tryouts with Mrs. Debus. Half of our 5B ohana to join us for luncheon with admin today also!

Wed., Nov. 22: Thanksgiving Ekalesia today @ Lunalilo Hale, followed by our Trimester Awards assembly.  Hope you all had an opportunity to share your manaʻo on awards by completing the parent survey at SLC.

Thurs. & Fri.:  LET THE THANKSGIVING CELEBRATIONS BEGIN! No School!  As I reflect on the abundance of blessings I have been given, I count all of you as blessing, our huge ohana! Enjoy the time together, go out and make wonderful ohana memories together!

Heads Up…We will begin collecting those Pennies for Pauahi on Mon., Nov. 27th.  Save your pennies for a good cause to help others who are less fortunate to go to school!

The haumāna and I will also be working together to plan “Project Kahiau,” a service learning leadership project, that will require ohana kōkua.  Students will be planning ways to “share aloha” & putting it into ACTION soon!  This project addresses our yearlong essential question:  “What is Our Kuleana?…As KSH Haumāna, As a Hawaiian, As a Global Citizen?”  They get to create a meaningful service learning project that will impact our community, our lāhui, our world…changing our world, one heart at a time! Stay tuned for more info in the coming days!  

*Great convo starter with keiki, what is your kuleana? How can you/we touch a heart? What can you/we do to make a positive difference in the community we live in, our world?  5th Graders CAN make a difference!  Remember Texas!  Be creative, have discussions, strategize, plan, and share the aloha!  We are blessed!
