“‘A‘ohe ‘ulu e loa‘a i ka pokole o ka lou.” This Hawaiian proverb saying translates too, no breadfruit can be reached when the picking stick is too short. Meaning, there is no success without preparation. The ʻulu tree stands as a symbol of growth, its tall stature holds upright with its roots gripping its foundation. When the winds blow and the storms come, it remains steadfast in itʻs place. Itʻs strong foundation allows for a sturdy and powerful body with much opportunity for growth. As we study this theme in the Fall Program, the keiki will have the opportunity to take root in their identity, their culture, in the arts, and so much more. 

This fall we are requiring a $100 participation fee. Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch will be required to pay a $50 deposit. The deposit can be returned if the student attends all five days of the program. Space is limited, apply today! All applicants will be notified September 20th if accepted.

All art supplies, huaka’i (field trips), Mele Murals program tshirt, and daily snacks will be provided. Students must bring daily home lunch and drinking water in a reusable water bottle.
