PTSA Meeting & Potluck Friday August 27 6 pm

We are having our first PTSA Meeting of the 2010/2011 School Year. This meeting features Stone Soup to eat and Stone Soup the play. Your entire Ohana is invited.... and we offer child care and dinner.

We are asking the Huakailani Ohana to contribute to our Stone Soup by sending in your contribution with your daughter to school on Friday August 27. The Upper Elementary will prepare the soup and it will cook during the day. Please bring either a nice bread or salad Friday evening to go with the soup.

We will start the meeting with dinner and the Stone Soup Play; then the children will go with the teachers to the school to watch a movie and we will have our PTSA Meeting. This is a great way to meet the Huakailani parents and get involved with school activities.

We hope to see many of you prior to this at the Ice Cream Social as well.

Are you interested in helping the PTSA with fundraising? We are in need of a Tupperware Committee Chair. You would help coordinate and promote the sale of Tupperware. This goes hand in hand with Huakailani's commitment to being environmentally responsible. Drop an email to: huakailaniptsa@gmail.com or call Ana 808-259-7792.
