Week of Gratitude: Day 7
Today we show our gratitude for the continued support of @manamaoli! Each year they provide us with multiple kumu who share with our keiki the love of mele. At many schools arts has become something that is no longer able to be offered due to funding. We are grateful for Mana Mele’s support of not only our keiki, but keiki throughout Hawaiʻi. Mahalo to all the kumu and staff for providing us with not only music and ʻukulele classes, but also opportunities to be a part of much larger and exciting projects. Mahalo nui!





Week of Gratitude: Day 5
Hanauma Bay has been a constant source of knowledge for Papa Hoku. Each year they visit to learn more about how to mālama our reef and ocean animals. Hanauma Bay is always supportive of our youngest class and provides them with the opportunity to explore our beautiful ocean. Mahalo for all you do!




Week of Gratitude: Day 6
Maunalua Fishpond Heritage Center are stewards of Kānewai, one of Honolulu’s last natural springs. Partnering with our 3rd/4th graders, haumana learn about the life giving springs which feed into Kānewai Fishpond, Paikō Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary, and Maunalua Bay and the hana needed to preserve and protect these waters. Restoring the land by removing invasives with each visit, haumana witness the transformation of the springs and environment it impacts as native fish, wildlife, and limu regrow and return to the wahi. Mahalo MFHC for your work and commitment to our keiki.

A ʻohe pau ka ʻike i ka hālau hoʻokahi; not all knowledge is learned in one school. Waikalua Loko Iʻa provides our keiki learning outside the 4 walls. Mahalo for welcoming and providing us with amazing learning opportunities!

Gratitude Day 2! Hoʻokuaʻāina has been our partner for 3 years. They provide keiki with mālama ʻāina activities and share our core values. Their staff work so hard to give our keiki amazing experiences & support us in so many ways. MAHALO! MAHALO! MAHALO!





Each day this week we recognize our community partners who provide us with expertise on a range of topics. We are extremely thankful!
Our first partner is @kanehunamoku. Kānehūnāmoku teaches us skills for the waʻa & life. They are a constant source of knowledge. Mahalo nui!
