Time certainly flies by! It has been a few weeks now since the opening ceremony and keiki hula event celebrating the 175th Anniversary of Washington Place on March 31. We want to offer our most heartfelt mahalo for all of the children and teachers' hard work and dedication that went into making this a once-in-a-lifetime event for your students. Mahalo especially to Uncle Kimo Awai of Hilo for his gift of choreography and his leo (voice) -- the mass hula event would not have been possible without his kōkua, guidance, and aloha.

KHON will be airing a special program on the series of events celebrating the 175th Anniversary on the following dates and times:

Premiere:
Sunday May 29th 7:00 - 8:00 pm on KHON2

Additional air dates:
Sunday June 5th 7:00 - 8:00 pm on KHII
Thursday June 9th 6:00 - 7:00 pm on the CW

We wish every single one of you joy, good health, and aloha as we finish out the school year.

Mahalo
