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

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!

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.
