Ka Leo Alakaʻi o Waikīkī

A free program sponsored by 'Aina Program from the Kōkua Hawaii Foundation, for grades K-5

REGISTRATION DEADLINE - WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 4TH, 2024

**NOTE: If your keiki were in Garden Club last school year, we will be giving priority to new applicants to give others a chance to be a Garden Clubber. We appreciate your understanding :)

Ms. Karla, Waikiki School Sustainability Teacher and Farm Coordinator, will be lead teacher.

Aloha and thank you for your interest in the After School Garden Club, 2024-25 at Waikiki Elementary School!

Please read carefully and fill out the registration form below - TWO PAGES - then submit.

With mindfulness and the environment in mind, I will forgo the paper forms and only do Google forms for registration.

Due to a possible large response of interest, we will do a lottery system for enrollment - a random selection process for determining which students will attend. The lottery system aims to give all applicants an equal chance of being admitted. A school lottery system only occurs when more students apply for admission than can be admitted.

LOCATION: Waikiki School's Farm, next to C5 and the basketball court.

DAY: Garden club will meet on Tuesdays each week.

PROGRAM START DATE: Tuesday, September 10th, 2024

PROGRAM END DATE: Tuesday, November 26th , 2024

TIME: 2:15-3:15pm

Any questions, please email me, karlameek@waikikischool.org

Mahalo!

A few helpful details about Garden Club:

1.) Please bring a home snack and water bottle.

2.) *Please be on time to pick up your child *

3.) Please discuss with your keiki - this is garden club, NOT soccer, recess, art or any other program. They should be interested in the outdoors, gardens and nature. Thank you!

4.) Before keiki are dismissed, we will have clean up and they should always let me know they are leaving.

5.) No technology during garden club. Tech (phones, pads, etc) if brought to garden club, should be kept in backpacks until you are ready to leave/pick up. Tech is allowed for communicating with the adult who picks you up. Thank you!

* Please pick up your keiki on time. I totally understand sometimes running late or traffic, etc. Call me or text to let me know if you are running late. Ms Karla 808-232-9106. Three times of late pick up will sadly prompt a dismissal of your keiki from the program. Thank you!

The PTO 'Ohana Picnic, scheduled for Friday, August 30 has been postposed due to the expected rainy weather from Tropical System Gilma. Thank you for your understanding.
