Compassion In Action (ALOHA AKU)
Compassion in Action. (Aloha Aku) Compassion is when you understand the pain or suffering of others, and want to do something about it to help them feel better. You understand how someone else might feel, and then you think about how you would feel in the same situation. Then you take kind action. To show Compassion, follow these steps: First, ask yourself, “How does the other person feel?”
Second, ask yourself, “How would I feel if the same thing happened to me?”
Third, take Compassionate action by doing something kind.
When we practice Compassion, we’re not only helping others, we’re actually helping
ourselves be happier and healthier too!

STUDENT CHECK-IN:
School Updates April 12, 2021
Aloha e nā ʻohana o Hau‘ula,
Last week, when I was visiting with a class, the teacher asked the students to think about ways the pandemic has had a positive effect on people. It was an interesting discussion because it’s not always easy to see the positive in presumably negative situations. The teacher explained that to see the positive, a person would have to shift their thinking and mindset so they could accurately view things from a broader perspective.
In thinking about this message, I am grateful for the many hands and hearts that have helped us through this school year. What started out as a year of uncertainty, has turned into a year of strength, growth, personal development and learning. We are resilient as a result and we are so much better with handling technology, communicating with and taking care of each other. These are some of the positive effects I have witnessed
among our staff, students, families and community partners. As we gear up for Quarter 4, let us Holomua - move ahead, steadfastly, keeping our focus on finishing the year strong!

leave them before we are able to check them in. -
Do not call your child to your car across the street. Please pull in and use the pick up lanes.
CAMPUS SECURITY:
For the last two months we have been monitoring surveillance videos tracking visitors and activity that are taking place on the campus between 7:00 pm-3:00 am. A male and female who are frequent to the campus cut an entire row of ti leaves in front of A building, torched several walls and doors in the A and B buildings, pulled off all the 6ft distancing stickers in the A building hallway, and left burnt plastic and glass pieces by B building classrooms. A man pulled out an entire plant and threw it back on the sidewalk and someone duct taped the A building door chains. Last week we were able to arrest a man who was actively using illegal substances on campus around 7:15 pm. We have 5 reports of property damage filed with HPD and are working with an investigator. We are asking for the community's help to keep our campus safe:
● Please help us get the word out that we need to keep our campus safe and clean for our keiki. We are finding broken bottles, cans, clear baggies, cigarettes and food along the wall and parking lot in front
of C building.
● If you see suspicious activity on our campus or in the parking lots after hours please call 911.
● Taking plants, ti leaves and flowers from our campus without permission is stealing, and takes away from the safe and positive learning environment that our custodians have worked hard to create and
maintain for our school.
● If you would like to help organize a campus patrol group or have questions about campus facilities, please contact Maile Ho 305-2091 or Leona Tupou at 305-2083.
Please call our office if you have any questions, (808) 305-2100
