Palolo Magic

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Palolo Elementary School’s alumni showed up in full force at the 25th year reunion. Friends, laughter, and that old Palolo spirit was the right formula for good times together. Palolo classmates, please plan on being a part of the 30th year celebration in Las Vegas! We need your luck and charm!

We are Waikiki

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Growing up in Kapahulu was a kid’s dream. Hanging out at Paki Park, slush floats at Burgerland, the waves at Waikiki Beach, and good friends on every block. It’s no wonder that no matter how far they roam, the kids from Waikiki Elementary School will always have an enduring connection with the little town at the foot of Diamond Head.

At KHS’s 25th reunion, a nice showing of Waikiki El. classmates attended and got reconnected. C’mon Waikiki alumni, be a part of the 30th year reunion. It’ll be like coming home.
