    The grade school teachers here are informative, helpful and efficient when supporting their…read morestudent. However most of their school office administration are not friendly. I would receive an attitude response when I would call the office or speak to them in person.

    Now having experienced a second child going through the Kapalama system I have to say that this…read moreschool is... amazing. My firstborn was very unenthused about school. Still, his teachers got the best out of him and cared about him and made great efforts to communicate with me about his progress. My second child is a very different creature. She loves to excel. She loves to please people. She loves to be important. She loves a lot of things that could make her absolutely insufferable or make her into a thriving adult, depending on how her character is shaped. And having her in Kapalama is a radically different experience. When my son was in school, I heard tales of a band and a ukulele group and student council and a library club and a robotics team. Just elusive whispers that came and went and I took little notice because he tried his very best to not do anything extra, ever. Well. My daughter does every activity possible and I am so impressed with what they have to offer. Mr. Camarillo, the music teacher, is an incredible professional musician who pours so much time and effort into his students. My daughter goes in to practice with him during recess, she is in after school ukulele band and normal band and we just attended their first performance, which was outstanding. She is so lucky to have him. She also just finished competing with her robotics team, and they made it to states and won a couple of awards and she had the best time ever. I also attend nearly all of the parent workshops help once a month and she is already talking about all of the opportunities afforded to her next year as a fifth grader, like volleyball and basketball and jpo-ing and so on. I am so thankful for Kapalama and everything it has done for my children. Who knew a public school in Kalihi would be so great.

    I am a Kauluwela Tiger Cub alumnus from 1987 to 1994…read more I attended Kauluwela Elementary for Kindergarten in 1987 and 1988. I transfered to Liholiho Elementary for first grade in 1988 and 1989. After I watched the Moonwalker film at Liholiho and at family gatherings, my older sibling recorded me beatboxing one of the songs from the film. I flunked first grade at Liholiho, and then I transferred back to Kauluwela in 1989 to 1990 for first grade. Though I was born and raised in Honolulu, English is my second language. I attended Kauluwela Elementary from first grade through fifth grade from 1989 to 1994. For our class of 1994, my classmates and I practiced break dancing and we called our bboy or bgirl "six step" the "skittles." We collected and traded baseball cards, Marvel cards, and comic books. Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, and Mister Rogers Neighborhood was played during class. Recess, we played kick ball. The boys and I, we played as though we were the Super Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kongs, and the rest of the Nintendo characters on the open field. We also played, collected, traded POGs. My Kauluwela Elementary classmate Ruben nicknamed me "Superman" during our P.E. class. From the years that went on through high school and beyond, Ruben continued to call out to me, "hey Superman!" It was at Kauluwela Elementary that I honed how to read my letters, numbers, write, spell, journal, draw, and I self-published my comic books. Mrs. Honda was my first grade teacher. I recalled when we sang a song from The Land Before Time for our goodbye song when Mrs. Honda retired when I was a second grader. Our principal was Mrs. Lee. My second grade teacher was Mrs. Zane. I stitched together a crown for a stitching activity. I think in second or third grade, I went into a program where I learned English as a second language called SLEP. Mrs. Lee, another Mrs. Lee, not the principal, was my SLEP teacher at Building A, the building behind the stage. Building A is no longer in existence, I think due to many years of termite damage. I used to walk up those stairs of building A and they creaked. I used to stand on that stage a lot. During SLEP I was into publishing and creating scripts and I then made them into comic books with illustrations and talking word bubbles. Even the SLEP program ran out of scratch paper for me to continue publishing scripts and comic books. It was also through that time, I created my own comic book character I named Gecko Man. I think I attended the SLEP from 1990 to 1993. I think it was midway through SLEP program in the fourth grade that I transitioned out of that program. At third grade, I discovered that I liked mathematics and that I was pretty good with it. My teacher was Mrs. Oura (Asami). I do recall that my teachers praised me during math lessons. Fourth grade teacher was Mrs. Morikawa, I really liked our computer class with the huge Apple Mac computers with floppy disks that no longer are made today. I used to digitally draw on the Apple Mac computers for fun with the mouse. At this time, I did not even own an actual computer and I did not have home Internet as that was not as accessible in that era that I recall. I do recall trying to play an ukulele and ipu at this grade too. My drawing of a dragon for the Hawaii Youth Theatre Play "Everyone Knows What A Dragon Looks Like" was published in my fourth grade, 1992 to 1993 Kauluwela Elementary School Yearbook. Fifth grade Mrs. Yoza, I stayed in class during recess and lunch recess to catch up on school work. Reading and comprehending what I read was a challenge for me. I did not give up. I think it was around this time that my art of Mario and Luigi of the Super Mario Brothers, Link of the Legend of Zelda was selected to be showcased at the Honolulu Museum of Art, back then known as the Academy of Arts. I think it was fifth grade that my clay sculpture of a brown bear was also on display at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Today, I love to read, and I read daily for enjoyment. I also love to write. I also help students throughout the state of Hawaii with mathematics. I also go around schools, speak at conferences, and the world beatboxing. I have not forgotten where I came from, I am a Kauluwela Elementary Tiger Cub alumnus! Many of my good and fond memories come from Kauluwela Elementary. In recent years I've been invited to revisit Kauluwela Elementary to perform for their back to school assemblies as an alumni guest. From my Kauluwela Elementary years from 1989 to 1994, I do recall Kauluwela alumni make periodic visits and what kind of impact that was for me. It's great to reunite with Mrs. Oura, Mrs. Zane, and Mrs. Kaneshiro! It's also great to meet principal Mr. Uemae and vice principal Mrs. Kim! -Jason Tom
