March 13, 2017

Overcast skies and chilly weather couldn’t stop thousands of KS supporters from attending this year’s Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Ho‘olaule‘a! The day was filled with fabulous entertainment, ‘ono grinds, cultural demonstrations, fun rides and games for the keiki. The annual event is sponsored by the KS Association of Teachers and Parents and valuable support is provided by the KS Parent/Alumni Relations Department. The funds raised by Ho‘olaule‘a support student enrichment grants which pay for activities such as student travel and supplies for student clubs.
