Aloha e nā KSH 'Ohana, Haumāna, Faculty & Staff,

We embark on the preparation of this year’s Hoʻolauleʻa: “Kūlike” meaning to stand together. As a lāhui, we have stood together while moving forward through very unprecedented times. These are the days we must unite and continue to stand together in times of adversity, triumphs, challenges & celebrations.

Due to gathering limitations and safety protocols, our annual Hoʻolauleʻa will look very different. “Kūlike” will be held on Saturday, April 24th from 10am-2pm on our Kamehameha School Hawaiʻi Campus. On this day, there will be a  drive-thru pick-up for our preordered items and winning silent auction bids. In addition, we will be releasing new items at our PTO School Store and hosting a drive-thru Teapresso fundraiser. Our event continues to be open to the entire community.

As a PTO, we take pride in our kuleana to provide for our students and as parents, we hope that you will jointly support our efforts by taking part in the success of this day. Your generosity helps PTO to provide enrichment and sports grants and college scholarships to our KS Hawai‘i students, allowing them to thrive and gain unique opportunities and experiences.

An event, no matter the magnitude would not be possible without the support of our KS ‘Ohana. Please make every effort to be a part of this wonderful event. Should you wish to kōkua, donations are graciously being accepted at www.tinyurl.com/kshhoolaulea21.

Should you have any questions, please email kshhoolaulea@gmail.com.

I Mua, Kamehameha!
