This Friday we celebrate our School Lunch Heroes!   Under the legendary leadership of Cafeteria Manager Star, you true heroes of the cafeteria and lunch line perform at a superhuman level to ensure every student is powered up and ready to face the day! Your dedication is an unstoppable force of positivity, a heroic saga of hard work that saves the day, every day. Star's guidance provides the ultimate super-signal for a truly galactic performance. Our school community thanks you for your incredible, stellar powers! Mahalo to Star and her staff- Jennifer, Brandon, Hector, China, Paula and Erin!  We appreciate the incredible meals they help prepare for our students every day! Friday is also May Day and the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, Military Appreciation Month, National Fitness and Sports Month.  This week we also celebrate and appreciate our School Bus drivers!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ho'okele's Got Talent: A Masterclass in Student Performance The Ho'okele Student Council delivered an absolute triumph with this 27-act showcase on Friday night, proving that raw talent is in abundance at Ho'okele. The program was a breathtaking, high-energy marathon that balanced technical precision with cultural pride. From the pulsating rhythm of the opening dance numbers to the sophisticated piano solos, the variety was impeccable. Cultural performances were the undeniable heart of the show—the riveting Fire Knife dance and the various Hula and Tahitian routines were executed with stunning authenticity. The vocalists brought infectious charisma to the stage, perfectly complemented by a well-timed, laugh-out-loud comedy set that kept the audience fully engaged. Seamless, ambitious, and brimming with heart, this wasn't just a school event—it was a curated exhibition of genuine artistry. A five-star effort from every student involved. Here is a full list of the performers in case you missed the show!

Did you see how we have been partnering up with UH Manoa?  Last week UH Manoa Engineering students visited to provide our Grade 4 students with valuable feedback to help improve the roller coasters they are designing for their PBL project. They explored concepts like potential and kinetic energy, and how these forces play a crucial role in successfully moving the marble through the track. Our students also learned the importance of a strong structural foundation in their designs. Mahalo nui to the UH Mānoa Engineering Program for sharing your ʻike (knowledge) once again! Our students truly enjoyed the opportunity to learn from you and proudly share their projects. Check out the Instagram post! On Monday, UH Football players will be visiting with Grade 2!  We can’t wait to hear about this visit!
