Kamehameha Schools Hawai‘i Kula Ha‘aha‘a (Elementary School) students celebrated Youth Art Month using sidewalk chalk and their creativity to brighten the walkways of their campus. Art kumu Tana Rosehill has coordinated the colorful festivities for three years straight.
The Council for Art Education administers Youth Art Month at the national level. Festivities take each March, to celebrate visual arts for grades K through 12. The Youth Art Month Program emphasizes the value of art education for all children, encourages support for quality school art programs, and promotes art material safety.

Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
