Here is a video broadcast of our celebration brought to you by the Rise of the Falcon's Broadcast team.

Aloha Hickam Families,

Thank you for joining us at our school play, The Little Mermaid Jr., which was performed by our talented Hickam students under the direction of Ms. Higashi. A huge mahalo to everyone who made the play a huge success. As we move into May, we have many activities and events planned, so please look at the bottom of this newsletter for the important dates to know. Otherwise, let's have a fantastic finish to our school year.

Sincerely,

Patrick Wetzel

Principal

Aloha Hickam Families,

As we approach the final stretch of the academic year, I am continually inspired by the commitment of our students, parents, and staff! In addition, we have many exciting events this month, including our Staff Appreciation Week (May 6-10), Digital Literacy Day, field days and promotion ceremonies, just to name a few. As we enter the month of May, I encourage each member of our community to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead and to finish the year strong. Let's continue to support one another, celebrate our achievements, and strive for excellence in all that we do! Keep up the great work, Falcons!

Kindly,

Ms. Jones

Vice Principal

Digital Literacy Day

This is the culminating project for our Tech Club and students in Tech class. Their work will be on display for our Ohana to visit and enjoy.

We're planning for the upcoming school year at Hickam Elementary and would greatly appreciate your input in helping us allocate resources effectively.

To assist with planning, we kindly ask you to complete a brief survey to let us know if your child(ren) will be returning to Hickam Elementary for the 2024-2025 school year. If your child(ren) will not be returning, the survey will also ask you to indicate where they will be attending school next year (private school, out of state/country, etc.). Only one survey per family.

Your prompt response will be much appreciated!
