Waikele Warriors Have You Ever Been to a Parade in Honolulu? This year is the 97 th Annual King Kamehameha Floral Parade. It is a tradition in our culture to honor King Kamehameha for uniting the islands of Hawaii. This year’s parade theme is, Na Pouhana, in honor of the late Senator Daniel Inouye, and also honoring Senator Daniel Akaka. After many years of dedication and helping to perpetuate this tradition, Mrs. Gloria Awakuni (Substitute Teacher at Waikele) has been chosen to represent the islands as Pa’u Queen. Mrs. Awakuni gives her MAHALO to the Waikele Community for their kokua and support in donating flowers and foliage for the horses’ leis. The parade starts at 9:00 a.m. at the Iolani Palace on Saturday, June 8, 2013, goes thru Ala Moana Blvd., to Kalakaua Ave., and ends at Kapiolani Park.
Join us in celebrating the representation of all the islands, on Pa’u (equestrian), the beautiful floats, the marching bands, and most of all, the Aloha of our Island Ohanas. Gr. K Gives to Hawaii Foodbank The kindergarten students wanted to help those in need, so they decided to collect canned goods and money for the Hawaii Foodbank. This idea came about after studying about what living things need to survive. The kindergarteners were sad to learn that some people don’t have enough money to get what they need. On Wednesday, April 24, 2013, the kindergarten classes presented a check of $137. and many boxes of canned goods to Hawaii Foodbank manager, Kim Bartenstein. The kindergarteners were so proud to see how much they collected and that they are helping to take care of others. Great job and many thanks to the kindergarten students and families for helping to donate money and food!
