MEDIA RELEASE

Parker Lower School celebrated its 8th Annual May Day Hoike on Friday, May 3.

Kindergarten through 5th grade students performed various chants, songs and hula reflecting this year’s theme, Aohe lokomaikai i nele i ka panai, which is interpreted as “No kind deed has ever lacked its reward. An opportunity to help another is a gift.”

The students began preparing for May Day in September 2012 under the instruction of visiting kumu Liana Aveiro and Pua Garmon.

The school wishes to thank both kumu for their hard work, dedication and guidance, the Hapa Fund of the Hawaii Community Foundation for its generous support, the Parker PTSO, and all of the volunteers, families and students who helped make the day a success.
