Aloha e Alakaʻi O Kauaʻi ʻOhana,
Akahai and a Fantastic Fourth Week! I feel great gratitude every day for the opportunity to work in the best school on the island. As we wrap up our fourth week of school, it’s truly inspiring to see the incredible learning and growth taking place across our campus. The energy and positive spirit our learners, ohana, and staff bring each day make Alakaʻi O Kauaʻi a special place. Please read about recent highlights and upcoming events below:
- This month, our school-wide focus is Akahai, which embodies kindness expressed with tenderness.
- We continue to witness countless examples of our learners demonstrating Akahai in their interactions, showing empathy and respect to their peers and staff. It’s a joy to see these values in action every day.
- To celebrate our commitment to Akahai, we are excited to announce our upcoming school-wide assembly on September 5, 2025, dedicated to this important ALOHA value. We look forward to gathering as a school community to recognize and reinforce the importance of kindness and compassion, while also recognizing everyone’s hard work in academics.
- Get ready for our annual Jog-a-Thon! See the flyer below for details. The flyer is also coming home with learners.
- Thank you to everyone making the drive in and out of school a slow, safe, and happy ride for our keiki, ohana, and community neighbors up here in Kahili Mountain.
- Thank you, Alaka’i ohana, for your continued partnership and support. Your involvement makes a tremendous difference in fostering a nurturing and enriching environment for all our learners.
Remember it is the simple things that make us successful…eat well, exercise every day, get plenty of sleep – 8 hours for school-aged children, and be kind to each other – a heartfelt smile always works for me ☺️).
Have a great week.
Malama pono,
The Alakaʻi O Kauaʻi Leadership Team
