Catching Up with everything that is going on at School!
The Holiday Season
Aloha Families - it is the Holiday Season and there is much to celebrate here at PHIS. From the opening of Makahiki last week to our upcoming Hoʻolauleʻa, so much is coming our way. I hope that everyone can take a few minutes in this hectic time to appreciate the many wonderful things going on for our students and the community around us. As always, we are constantly seeking to hear from everyone and try to adapt and change in this ever changing world. But for now, we want to celebrate what is happening and what we are proud of.
Hoʻolauleʻa
Hoʻolauleʻa is coming on December 2 from 10-3pm. This is a great opportunity to do some holiday shopping, visit with friends, enjoy entertainment and of course, pick up ʻono food. We are still seeking vendors. Please see the attachments below for more details
PHIS Students visit Jeju South Korea
Two students from PHIS were selected to attend the 2023 Jeju International Youth Forum in Jeju, South Korea. Alayna Kadarusman and Chloe Lane, along with Vice Principal Annie Henbest, spent a week working with students from all over the world, focusing on topics that are important to young people as they are entering the world of adulthood. PHIS was the only outer Island school from Hawaii selected to represent Hawaii. We are proud of our team!
What are two things you hope to see more of at PHIS in 2024?
Lā Hana Workday
In September, PHIS had a community work day to work in our Ag Field, preparing our field for new and great things that are coming. Students, teachers, and community members all pitched in to make a huge difference in our fields, making them safer and more useful for everyone.
Halloween Drive Thru
On October 27, PHIS partnered with Pāhoa Elementary and Keonepoko Elementary Schools to host a Halloween Drive Thru. The classes came together, decorated stations and passed out candy to our community. This was the third year running we have held this event and each year it gets bigger and better!
