Updates for Week of October 28, 2024

Our 3rd annual Trunk or Treat was a spooktacular success! Huge thanks to our incredible Trunkers, PTA, and staff for making this event possible. We couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you to our amazing community for helping us create a safe, fun, and unforgettable Halloween! 🎃👻 Check out the pictures on our Instagram Post!

Hoʻokele Fall Costume Parade The parade will occur on Thursday, October 31, 2024, at 8 AM. We will conclude by 9 AM to account for Bike Ed and Resources. Please line up with your buddy class in the Piko area. We will exit through the gate between the E and D Buildings. We will walk out and around D building, to in front of the Cafe, up around A building, and enter between F and the Playcourt. The students will then walk into the Cafe and sit down while we wait for the rest of the classes. Once all students are in, our Halloween event will begin. Once in the Cafe, the Student Council will welcome the students and staff. They will call up each team to show off their costumes. They would then like to conclude by dancing the Cupid Shuffle.  A few things to note: -A map of our walking path is attached to Carli’s email (10/14/2024). This is a new route compared to past years. -The Buddy class list and walking order were emailed. -Parents and the PTA are invited to attend. Parents will stand on the pick-up route, and students will walk on the sidewalk. The PTA will help usher parents out after the parade concludes. -If students do not participate, please provide them with an alternative activity to do in the office. -These are two videos that Student Council found to teach the Cupid Shuffle.  Video One; Video Two PLEASE PARK ON THE GRASS THIS DAY!
