No Read Aloud

Friday, December 17th, 2010

It is such a great shame that the Read Aloud Program will not be held next year on Molokai. As a reader last time, I found not only that the kids seemed to really enjoy listening to the books that had been picked, but also seemed very keen to collect the free books they were given through the season. The family involvement before and after the reading appeared to be very popular as was the pizza meal which followed.

Why our community has to miss out on this great program is a bit of a mystery, and although there is obviously a great deal of volunteer work involved, I think the results were well worth everyone's effort.

Aloha,
John Sprinzel

Third Grade Blessings

Friday, December 17th, 2010

My name is Wailana Dudoit and I am in third grade in Mrs. Kalilikane’s classroom at Kilohana School. I am writing this letter to talk about a topic that I believe is a blessing in our lives here on Molokai. This pomaika`i or blessing is Hawaiian culture and I want to share why it is a blessing that we should all malama.
I believe this is a blessing because it teaches me who I am. This is a blessing because it helps me remember my kupuna. Hawaiian culture makes Hawaii special. These are some ways that we should malama Hawaiian culture. We should hold onto Hawaiian language. We also need to show aloha every day. The Hawaiian hula represents our Hawaiian culture.
