Our 5/6th graders spent the morning at the beautiful Spalding House Museum to work on their journaling skills. These skills will enhance their 5th grade defenses of student learning and documenting their 6th grade sail.

Kuʻi at the capitol. In 2011 the legislature was considering outlawing the sale of paʻi ‘ai (pounded kalo). In order to protest, a group of people organized Kuʻi at the Capitol. This year our 5/6 graders participated in this annual event on opening day at the Legislature.

Over a century later our 5 & 6 grade students performed the song Kuʻu Pua o Paoakalani with Liliʻu Project musicians in the very room where Queen Liliʻuokalani composed this song under house arrest in ʻIolani Palace.#ceedsofpeace #malamahonua #lifechangingmoments #eonipaa
