Grade 3

Aloha mai kākou,

I’m Cristi David and I’ll be one of your child’s distance learning kumu for the upcoming Papa ‘Ekolu semester. For the past 9 years I’ve worked for Kamehameha Schools teaching with Kealalpono (community education) in the public schools working with grades K-6. I’m from Ola’a, on the island of Hawai’i, where I grew up and currently reside. I have 3 keiki of my own, and I enjoy reading, cooking, and taking my kids to the beach. I’m excited to begin this distance learning adventure and look forward to meeting each one of you. Mahalo!

Aloha mai kākou! My name is Courtney Mahina Keliipio. I was born and raised in Wailua, Kauaʻi, where I currently reside with my husband and three children (ages 3, 17, and 20 years old). I am a ʻ97 KSK graduate and have been teaching for over 15 years. Iʻve previously worked as an elementary special education teacher, literacy resource teacher and most recently a learning success coach. I enjoy hiking, traveling and going to the beach with my ʻohana (family). I look forward to meeting all of you and embarking on this distance learning journey!
