demonstrations and hands on learning with the dolphins.

May Day
We are nearing the end of January and our school year is moving along quickly. We will soon be
preparing for our annual May Day celebration and would like to encourage as many family members to
help in this amazing tradition. We realize everyone is busy but this is truly an event that needs many
people contributing their aloha for the sake of our keiki. Please contact Nicole Keana'aina at 328-2727 to
get more information and see how you can help make this an amazing celebration.
May Day will be on Saturday, May 19, 2018.
