3/12/2018

As most of you know, many Maui schools are going to participate in a nation-wide school walk out on March 14th from 10:00 - 10:17 in order to pay respect for the fallen students and teachers from the tragedy in Florida.

Kihei Charter Elementary School facility and students in kindergarten, second, fourth and fifth grade will also pay respect to those students and teachers by "walking out" of the classroom and meeting together in the church courtyard. We will NOT be leaving campus.

We encourage students to bring something as a tribute to leave in memory of all victims of school violence. These may be in the form of a note, a flower or lei. Parents are encouraged to answer questions their students may have as we feel this is a sensitive subject and should be addressed personally.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
