Mahalo Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce!
Thank you the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce for donating 1,000 youth face masks and 1,000 student/adult face masks.
Mahalo Starbucks!
JES would like to thank all of the Starbucks coffeehouses in the Waikiki area for their generous donation of school supplies. These supplies will be put to good use and will allow our students to come to school with the supplies that are needed in order to promote a positive learning environment.
Thursday Bentos
At JES, we are fortunate to have partnerships with many outstanding businesses in the Waikiki Community. One of these businesses is Hula Grill Waikiki. They were nice enough to provide a bento for our JES TEAM today. There were barbeque ribs, seasoned chicken, and even vegetarian bentos that were prepared. Mahalo to Hula Grill Waikiki and mahalo to our JES TEAM for all of the hard work and dedication to making sure that our students and families are provided with the highest quality educational opportunities!

On Monday - February 24tha nd Wednesday - February 26th our 5th graders were provided with an opportunity to begin planning for our schools Mele Mural. On February 24th we visited Kanewai and learned about the mo'olelo (myths and stories) surrounding the manoa ahupua'a system. We cared for the loi by throwing leaves in the loi, then massages the loi with our feet. After our experience, we meditated and brainstormed ideas that came to us. On February 26th - we listened to even more mo'olelo of our ahupuaa and how we are all connected to the land. We meditated and created a mandala about what we saw and felt. As you view these pictures . . . a draft of our murals is being created, we will then get to see what our mural will look like.
