Global School Play Day turns a Maker's Space into a cardboard city! Mahalo Mr. Kent and Mrs. Tom #GSPD2020

Today brought me back to my why.There was so much learning happening today as the entire school community engaged in 5 hours of play! I was moved to tears multiple times as I observed and participated. It’s made me deeply reflect on the assumptions we make and how we can improve!

When a teacher can use her passion to inspire student action and send a positive message about making our world better for us and our wildlife, it's a good day! Thank you Ms. Higgins for the inspiration and leadership and to Kokua Foundation for the invitation to get involved!

Family, community engagement at it's finest! Great job Mr. and Mrs. Kent, Mrs. Tom and Mrs. Hanohano! Maker Fair Family Night was awesome! #familyengagement

I’m incredibly proud of our students and their coaches for jumping in and making this happen! They had to make videos, meet with judges, and will even be in the live event! All of this done virtually. Wow!

😊 This is such a bright spot in our world right now! Glad we were given this opportunity!

Yes Hawaii leads again! HI is one of the first six states that has an approved Perkins Career and Tech Ed State Plan. Mahalo to the cross sector team that made this happen! ed.gov/news/press-rel…

A Kailua Elementary School 3rd grader wasn’t going to let the pandemic stop him from organizing a virtual spelling bee. I was so impressed with these kids. The words were HARD. Can you spell the winning word? KHON2 News khon2.com/coronavirus/ka…
