Fun Fair Frenzy!


Hello Students, Friends, and Families,

All of the students who performed at the Fun Fair on Friday evening did an AWESOME job!

Your singing and dancing was exquisite! I especially enjoyed watching the girls from our class dance the hula, and sing Justin Bieber's "Baby." Cello would have really enjoyed it, and I know he would have tweeted right along! Keep developing your talents everyone!

I would like to extend a special thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped support our class, and school, at the fair! Your hard work is very much appreciated. Mahalo!

Love,
Miss Lilli

Save Your Gallon Containers Please!



Hello Students and Families,

Please remember to save your gallon containers (from milk, orange juice, shoyu, etc.) to send into school. We are collecting containers over the next week in preparation for growing hydroponic lettuce. At this point, we need 20 more containers for every student to be able to grow a head of lettuce. Mahalo for your support!
