We are 'Ohana

The 2014 Ho'olaulea was fantastic! The 2nd graders danced beautifully to "We are 'Ohana".

The students completed their non-fiction ocean animal hardcover books. Awesome work, kiddos! Enjoy them forever!

On behalf of the entire A6 'ohana, I would like to give an enormous, humungous, giant mahalo nui to all of our weekly classroom volunteers. You are amazing! Thank you for your invaluable dedication to all the students' educations. You also saved me hours and hours of work!

THANK YOU!!!!

I am so impressed with all the family support from this class. Thank you to all of you who chaperoned on field trips and helped in numerous other ways.

Although this special group will not all be in one classroom next year, I know they will make new friends and do well wherever they are. Please come visit A6 next year and every year after that...I will miss you all!
