    The class finished their research on Haloa with Mrs. Seatriz. They now know more about the history of kalo, the parts of the taro plant and its uses. 
  • Field trip: Kako'o 'Oiwi
    Students enjoyed the day learning about kalo and how the lo'i helps to prevent some of the run-off dirt from entering the ocean, pounding kalo into pa'iai, debarking mangrove that could be used as housing and aerating the soil in the lo'i patch. The weather held up and the clouds provided protection from the hot sun.
