Congratulations to our Robotics team, the CaneFires, for their amazing performance at the state competition this month!

Our 6th grade team won the Teamwork Challenge for the 4th year in a row, earning a spot at the WORLDS competition in Dallas, Texas. After three intense overtime rounds, they triumphed alongside their partners, the Manoa Green Tigers.

The 5th grade team earned the "Build Award" for their strong, reliable robot.

A huge thanks to Coach Jared Haiola for his incredible leadership. We’re so proud of all our students for representing our school with honor and teamwork. Best of luck at Worlds!

The 4th Graders went on a fun, hands-on field trip to Kaiaka Park and learned that Haleʻiwa was once a fishing village! We imagined what Hawaiʻi looked like before modern contact. Then, we gave our respects to the ocean and land with our ʻOli. Kumu took us to the ocean where we were given our ipu and cleaned the ipu with our hands, saltwater, and sand. It was a very fun, hands-on learning experience where we connected to Hawaiʻi and our special place, Kaiaka Beach!

Congratulations to Gr. K Kalea and Gr. 4 Murphy for winning the Perfect Attendance lottery spin for the month of January! Be here every day, Hale'iwa is the way!

The "Click It or Ticket" school campaign at Haleʻiwa Elementary School was a significant event aimed at educating students and their families about the crucial importance of wearing seatbelts. On February 21, 2025, students worked alongside the Honolulu Police Department to raise awareness within the Haleʻiwa community about the life-saving benefits of buckling up.

A special thank you to Mrs. Yamakawa (Curriculum Coordinator) and Mrs. Yonamine (School Counselor) for their dedication and efforts in organizing this important campaign. Their collaboration with the Honolulu Police Department ensured that the event was both informative and impactful, creating a lasting impression on students and the broader community about the importance of always wearing seatbelts.

On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the Waialua Complex Fitness Festival was held at Waialua District Park. Waialua High and Intermediate School's (WHIS) PE teacher, Mr. Kositwongsakul, along with high school student volunteers, led fun and engaging physical fitness activities for 3rd through 6th grade students from Waialua and Haleʻiwa Elementary.

In addition to the fitness activities, students were taught hands-only CPR by Waialua Complex nurse, Carrie Alexander. To conclude the event, all students enjoyed delicious and healthy fruit smoothies.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Yvette Ikari for her help in organizing the event, to Mr. Kositwongsakul, Carrie Alexander, all the volunteers, and the Principals — Mrs. Christine Alexander (WHIS), Mrs. Varissa Pata (Waialua Elementary), and Mrs. Malaea Wetzel (Haleʻiwa Elementary) — for their support in making this event engaging and meaningful for all the students!
