Kula Haʻahaʻa’s Spring Concert

““““MusicMusicMusicMusic ofofofof TheTheTheThe BeatlesBeatlesBeatlesBeatles””””

Music teacher Mrs. Debus has been, shall we say, “small kine busy”,

as she not only prepared our Keiki Choir for their recent California

trip during spring break, but has also been rehearsing with our K-5

students in prepara$on for our tradi$onal Spring Concert!

Set for Friday, April 11th at 6:00 p.m., in Hāʻaeamahi Dining Hall,

with the theme of “Music of The Beatles”, legendary songs such as,

“Yellow Submarine”, “Hey Jude”and “I Want to Hold Your Hand”

will surely entertain everyone in a/endance.

The Beatles were an English rock band that formed in Liverpool in

1960. With John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and

Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the greatest and most

influen$al act of the rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s

rock and roll, The Beatles later experimented with several genres,

ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic and hard rock, o>en incor-

pora$ng classical elements in innova$ve ways. In the early 1960s,

their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as

their songwri$ng grew in sophis$ca$on they came to be perceived

as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural

revolu$ons.

2014 marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ debut in the

United States. Join our kula haʻahaʻa keiki as they honor these

$meless performers who have le> a legacy of classic songs and

music!

A Love for Science & Chemistry

Nā Pōkiʻi

Our keiki and staff were treated

to an awesome science demon-

stra$on from two gentlemen

from Wisconsin. Dr. Donald

Showalter and Dr. Marvin Lang,

former chemistry professors

from the University of Wiscon-

sin, travel all over the world

sharing their love for science

and chemistry with students.

They sure made chemistry look

like fun!

Makawalu Hilo

Youth Art Month is celebrated across the country during

the month of March. Recently, at Kula Haʻahaʻa,

“Sidewalk Chalk Art Day” was held. Organized by our

fabulous art teacher, Mrs. Rosehill, all of our students

and staff had the chance to draw on our sidewalks with

chalk. The theme this year: “Celebrate Hawaiʻi”.

Mahalo to our grounds and maintenance workers and

this year high school students from the Ambassadors of

Pauahi (service group), Zoe Leonard, Kaiulani Ahuna

and Evan Enriques, for se ng up the spaces to get

crea$ve with chalk!

Sidewalk Chalk Art - Celebrate Hawaiʻi

The fi>h graders weren't just par$cipants

in this year's Makawalu Hilo Project. We,

the students became the masters. We

shared our new perspec$ves with all of

kula ha'aha'a! This year there was a wide

range of topics and presenta$on types. We

shared everything from facts about Suisan

to informa$on on Pu'uhonua O Hōnaunau.

We made many feature ar$cles, skits, digi-

tal presenta$ons and poster boards about

our beloved topics. This was an epic tech

outbreak, where our visitors interacted

with us using their techie devices. We

made QR codes, aurasmas, and digital

presenta$ons using apps like keynote and

thinglink. Memories that will last for a life-
