The spring intercession program runs from March 20-24 from 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The program is open to two age groups. One is Kaunakakai Elementary School third through sixth graders, with parents providing transportation or using the MEO bus. Joanie Tanabe is the site coordinator. The other is Molokai Middle and High school students in grades seven to 12. MEO Youth Transportation will be provided from town to MHS and back.  A bus pass required from MEO. Iolani Kuoha is the site coordinator. The program is free and lunch is provided.
