Families and their keiki flocked to Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei recently for the first-ever Honouliuli Educational Fair. Kamehameha Schools teamed up with the K-12 academy and the Kapolei Community Development Corporation to sponsor the event that offered tools, information and resources to help young learners succeed.
‘Ohana had the chance to visit the KS One-Stop Shop Resource Center for help applying to KS programs. They also were able to tour the IPA campus, receive health screenings, and talk story with professionals from organizations including Keiki O Ka ‘Āina, Alu Like and UH West O‘ahu.
Hats off to KS’ ‘Ewa Regional team for a job well done, and mahalo to staffers from the KS One-Stop Shop Resource Center, Kilohana & Career Pathways programs, and Alumni Relations Office for helping to make the event a success.
