Welina Mai e Nā ʻOhana

Aloha e nā ʻohana o Kamehameha Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe,

Welcome to second quarter! As we settle further into the school year, I hope your ʻohana is finding its rhythm and embracing all that this year has to offer.

First quarter reminded us numerous times that storms are an inevitable part of our journey. In high school, just like in life, storms impact lives differently, but having a strong support system makes all the difference! Whether our haumāna are finding their footing as freshmen, navigating the transitions of sophomore and junior year, or preparing to launch into their next chapter as seniors, each stage brings its own challenges and opportunities for growth. 

Research consistently reinforces what we already know in our naʻau: when ʻohana are engaged in their child's education, haumāna benefit academically, socially, and emotionally. We also understand that engagement does not look the same for everyone. For some, it means showing up for every event. For others, it happens in the quiet, everyday moments that matter. Regardless of what it looks like, every act of care and intention is a reminder to our haumāna that they are not navigating this journey alone.

Mahalo for allowing me to be a part of your ʻohanaʻs journey. I look forward to continuing to strengthen the connections that create the conditions for our haumāna to thrive!

Me ka pono mau,

Keala
