KES 1 to 1 Laptop Training

There is the possibility that we will be having students take home the laptops to complete assignments/projects. If we decide to do this, it will begin during the 2nd semester. Parent must complete the training in order for the child to take the laptop home. We will also have training for the children in school.

If you have not completed the online parent training, you can access it at this website…

There will be a google form at the end of the training that needs to be filled out.

Please complete as soon as possible. If you do not have access to the internet, please let me know. Mahalo for your kōkua!

ʻAha ʻŌpio Representative

We had our election for class representative on Friday. The speeches were sincere and well done and all of the candidates were strong choices. Congratulations to Papa ʻApapane’s elected ʻAha ʻŌpio representative, Makena. The koala-fications shared in her speech left an impression because her peers selected her to represent them. Congratulations to our alternate, Heaven. With the two girls working as a team, we will have excellent representation in ʻAha ʻŌpio. Mahalo, Makena and Heaven, for your desire to serve your classmates in this capacity. You are definitely developing your hearts as alakaʻi lawelawe.

Mahalo to Adrienne, Kanani, and Kulia, our other candidates who also expressed their desire to serve others. We were only able to select one representative and one alternate, but I would like to invite all candidates to consider being class ambassadors. I want to cultivate their desire to serve others, so our class ambassadors will have kuleana throughout the year. We will have training sessions as needed and I will give all the girls information so they can decide if this is kuleana they would like to accept this year.

We love and appreciate all of our candidates and mahalo them for being willing to be our voice and keep our papa informed.

Christmas Boxes with Our Buddies

Here are some guidelines for our Christmas Box service project that we are working on with our Buddy class. The Buddies will team up to put together a box for a child living in the houseless encampment at the Waiʻanae Boat Harbor and the boxes will be distributed before Christmas. We have been participating in this project for a number of years and we are always blessed by sharing aloha at Christmas. We will have items available for students to include in boxes, so please give as you are able. Mahalo and Mele Kalikimaka!
