Our keiki have worked very hard memorizing, practicing and perfecting their speeches.  Each student performed their chosen piece individually or with their respective hui.  We began with our preliminary round in which our groups Mirror Mirror (Tehani, Dara, Kalissa, and `Ailani), When Freddie ate Spaghetti ( Malachi, Ethan, and Lucas), Ka Huli (Kalā), How Hilo Got Its Name (Liwai, Kāhili, and Damien), and All My Great Excuses (Keanu) made it pass and on to the semi-finals.  Then representing our papa 1 at the finals were Mirror, Mirror and Ka Huli.  Congratulations to ALL our kamali`i for their pono work.   Check out our two finalists.
