CANDO! DAYS
FOR STUDENTS
School Year:2024-2025
We are excited for our theme this year, Ahupuaʻa Aloha, an exploration into the traditional Hawaiian ahupua`a land system, our pilina/relationships as its stewards, and our kuleana/responsibilities to mālama and nurture our precious island home.
Through an art filled day, students will participate in lessons that combine Nā Hopena A‘o (Hā) learning outcomes with arts integration strategies, including visual arts, dance & movement, music, and dramatic arts.
We are so excited to welcome everyone from the mountains to the seas.
E kuahui like i ka hana, letʻs come together and create something beautiful.
