Aloha Parents,

I am so proud of our class for all of their hard work for May Day. Everything came out amazing! Thank you to Mrs. Wong for teaching us the dance and making the flower headpieces for the girls, Mr. Wong for handling the sound, Mrs. Patterson for getting us the leis and creating the beautiful lei backdrop, and Mrs. Baligad for making all of the outfits. Our class is truly fortunate to have all of your help and support!

We only have three weeks of school left. Time is flying by so quickly! Please continue to monitor your child’s grades, and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

We also have upcoming field trips to the Kahala Hotel for our Dolphin Excursion on Friday, May 15, and to Schofield Bowling Alley on Thursday, May 21. Further information about these field trips will be sent through ClassDojo.

Just a few reminders and notices for this week:
