Class of 2010!!

Graduation day at Paliku Theater on Windward Community College campus in Kaneohe, Hawaii.  This class had 12 graduates.  Congratulations to each of them for their accomplishments and I wish them all the very best in everything they pursue.  Life is full of opportunities and when people set their minds and hearts to what they want to accomplish in life then the world can be theirs for the taking.  So, go out there and reach for the moon because if you miss you will still land upon the stars. CONGRATULATION, Class of 2010!

Yvette's Student Project

Here's an exciting and fund student project on Tahitian Dancing.  Staff assisted this student with her primary source who was invited to Hakipuu Learning Center for an interview.  Julie and Kaniala shared a short lesson on Tahitian dancing with the staff and students.  Everyone participated and had so much fun learning a little part of the Tahitian culture.  Here's a short video of Yvette's interview with Julie and everyone's participation in a Tahitian dance lesson.


"Maruru" thank you Julie and Kaniala for sharing with us.

Senior Student Hoike Night

Last night, Tuesday 5/5/10, was the first of three Hoike nights. Four of our senior students presented their year long project to the community. I was very impress with each of them. Of course all of them were very nervous, but very poise, confident and knowledgable of their topic.

Lauren started the night of with his project on "Heavy Equipment Certification and Effects on `Iwi Kupuna".

Kamalu did his project on "Physical Fitness: The Physical Aspect of Staying Fit"

Kendra's project was on "Film & Digital Photography"

Cameron ended the night on "Boat Building"

These senior students worked long and hard all year long on their projects and should be proud of their outcomes.  Kudos to last nights presenters and best wishes to the other senior students expected to present this wednesday and thursday.
