Today, July 31st, commemorates the holiday known as Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea.
In 1840, a British consul residing in Hawaiʻi named Richard Charlton got into a land dispute with Kamehameha III (Kauikeaouli) and was unhappy with Kauikeaouli's decision against him. In 1842, Charlton meets with Lord George Paulet, a captain in the British Navy. He tells Paulet that British nationals are being mistreated in Hawaiʻi and pushes for annexation. In that same year, Kauikeaouli sends a diplomatic envoy (Timoteo Haʻalilio, William Richards, and Sir George Simpson) to secure international recognition of Hawaiʻi's independence.
In February of 1843, Paulet sails to Hawaiʻi and threatens to fire on the people of Hawaiʻi, so Kauikeaouli temporarily cedes power. Paulet orders every hae Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian flag) taken down and destroyed. For five months, the British occupy Hawaiʻi. In the meantime, Kauikeaouli secretly sends a letter to Admiral Thomas of the British Navy, informing him of Paulet's current occupation and requesting help. He arrives in Hawaiʻi and acknowledges the illegality of Paulet's actions. On July 31st, he officially restores Hawaiʻi's independence at the site now known as Thomas Square. The British flag is lowered and the Hawaiian flag is raised. On the steps of Kawaihaʻo Church, Kauikeaouli speaks the words, "Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono." The SOVEREIGNTY of the HAWAIIAN NATION is restored by righteousness. A two-week long celebration is held, and the first Hawaiian national holiday is celebrated yearly. On November 28th, due to the efforts of Haʻalilio, Richards, and Simpson, the British and the French sign the Anglo-Franco proclamation, officially recognizing the independence of the kingdom of Hawaiʻi. This day, Lā Kūʻokoʻa (Hawaiian Independence Day), becomes the next national holiday.

Vice President at Mid Pacific, educator, and mom, Leigh Fitzgerald provides helpful hints and insight into managing screen time during the Coronavirus.
http://honolulufamily.com/blogs/education-cheat-sheet-managing-screen-time-during-the-coronavirus-Hawaii-Honolulu/

He waʻa he moku, he moku he waʻa (A canoe is an island, an island is a canoe)
Mālama Honua believes that the skills we need to survive on the wa’a are the same skills that can make us successful in all aspects of our lives. As our school environment has quickly changed over the last few weeks, we have asked our haumana to think about how this ʻŌlelo noʻeau can be applied to their lives today.
Our K-2 haumana were given an additional challenge to build a wa’a at home! Kumu were so impressed by the creativity and collaboration shown by so many of our haumana.

This picture popped up as a memory from 5 years ago. These boys were part of our first kindergarten class and are now in 5th grade. It is a reminder to us, during these uncertain times, of all the things we are grateful for. Like the fact that we are in our 6th year as a school. As we navigate these uncharted waters, we must remember that when the strongest wind blows, be like the ʻaʻaliʻi on the highest cliffs, bending but not breaking, patiently withstanding nature’s forces until this passes and we stand upright again. He ‘a’aliʻi kū makani mai au. ʻAʻohe makani nana e kūkaʻi e.

Tonight we had our second 6th grade sail meeting and on social media these images from 5 years ago popped up. Since these images were first taken, these haumana have presented their learning, and have either successfully completed their sail or are preparing for their first defense or voyage across Kaneohe Bay. Mahalo nui to all those who have supported us along the way. We are so proud of these young voyagers and all they have accomplished over the past 5 years. @kanehunamoku

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.
