The Heart of Haleiwa

Get ready to show your heart! From Tuesday, February 10th, through Friday, February 13th, we will be celebrating Essence Spirit Week. This special week is all about reflecting the values that make our school community great. Each day has a unique color and theme:

Our 5th and 6th-grade robotics teams are headed to the States! Led by Coach Jared Haiola, our students prevailed at their latest competition at Hokulani Elementary.

• 5th Grade: 1st Place Teamwork Champions & Think Award

• 6th Grade: 2nd Place Teamwork Champions & Build Award

Their accomplishments reflect months of dedication and collaborative problem-solving. Join us in cheering them on as they prepare for the State Championship at at Pearl City High School on Saturday, March 14. Congratulations to Coach Haiola and our Canefires!

Take a look at these highlights from our Attendance Spirit Week held from January 12th–16th! From kicking things off with sign-waving by our FLI-Hi Club to seeing our students and staff swap styles for "Freaky Friday," the energy on campus was incredible. It was wonderful to see everyone spreading "Good Vibes" and proving that school is the place to be—even on Pajama Wednesday. Thank you to everyone who participated and showed that being present is always worth celebrating!

Our preschoolers, kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders recently enjoyed a very special visit from the Honolulu Police Department as part of their "Say Hi" program. This wonderful initiative helps our youngest learners get to know our local officers as friends and helpers in the community. The students loved seeing the police equipment up close and learning about how officers keep us safe. A big mahalo to HPD for spending time with our keiki and building these lasting connections!

Our Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students recently celebrated their hard work with a well-deserved "Experience" reward hour! Some got creative making friendship and charm bracelets, while others learned the art of cupcake and cookie decorating with Ms. Chante. There was plenty of style at Ms. Leslie’s pen and cute keychain bar, and the energy was electric at the Glow Stick Dance Party with "DJ" Pai! Check out the collage below to see our students enjoying these special moments.
