    President Thomas Jefferson Elementary School - Anyone can make a Genki Ball!

    Perfect venue for the Genki Ball Project in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I participated in a Genki Ball Project at Nu'uanu Elementary. It was an Eagle Scout Event. It was different because we had to wait for the Genki Balls to dry before we could throw them into the Ala Wai Canal. I never got called for the throwing session... so sad... This time, I was pleasantly surprised to make a batch of Genki Balls... and then walk to the Ala Wai Canal - from Jefferson Elementary School - And then throw balls that a different group had made weeks ago! Yippee! I feel a sense of completion now!!! Genki Balls have worked in Japan and at least 100 countries around the world. The goal for the Ala Wai is to make it swimable and fishable in a few years. Recently, sightings of marine mammals in the Ala Wai Canal show that the Genki Balls are working... good bacteria are eating up the sludge at the bottom of the Canal! This is a more feasible and natural way to clean the Canal instead of dredging it! It was nice to work with community minded members of our community... and some volunteers from Haneda (Japan) Airport! That's so nice of our Japanese neighbors to help care for our environment! Thank you, Jefferson Elementary School, for the free parking and the covered walkway where we formed the Genki Balls! The nice breeze was pleasant, and the fresh air was much appreciated! To sign up or for more information, go to genkialawai.org

Mrs. Chun and Mrs. Esposito were just phenomenal teachers who really impacted our familie's life. They went above and beyond to help our keiki and what we were going thru at the time. Words cannot describe how grateful we were to have you! Mahalo nui loa

    I am a Kauluwela Elementary alumnus. I did a lot of school moving, and I believe I as at Kauluwela…read morefor kindergarden in 1987 and 1988. Then I transferred to Liholiho Elementary for first grade in 1988 and 1989. Thank goodness for yearbooks, because otherwise I would forget the year. I flunked first grade from Liholiho, and then in 1989 and 1990 I transferred back to Kauluwela for first grade. Though I was born and raised in Honolulu, English is my second language. I knew not my ABCs and I knew not how to read up to that point at Liholiho. I recalled I got pulled out of class at Liholiho where a teacher specialist mostly had me trace pictures. It was at Liholiho that I recalled that my first grade teacher popped in the 1989 Moonwalker VHS for our class to watch. After watching the Moonwalker film at Liholiho and at my family gatherings, my older sibling recorded me beatboxing, scat singing, and singing one of the songs from the Moonwalker film. I was six-years-old then. I still have the Liholiho Elementary picture taken of me on the playground holding an orange baseball bat. I do recall we were given seeds to plant around Liholiho Elementary... I chose the seed that would grow a blue flower. I planted it somewhere around the campus and as I grew older, I remember where I planted those seeds. I now see those blue flowers grown. Today, as an adult, I love to read daily, for fun and enjoyment. I love to write. I also help students with mathematics throughout the state of Hawaii. I also beatbox throughout the state of Hawaii and the world, speaking at conferences, and schools. Liholiho Elementary students were among 300 in attendance when I performed and spoke at the 25th Chevron Honolulu Speech Festival at the McKinley High School Auditorium. -Jason Tom

    This review is for their summer school only…read more I LOVE this summer school for my kids, especially at the early elementary school age. They are smaller so it's easier for children who don't go here normally to adapt (and not get lost). The school is very organized and the children get name tags with their classes listed so the adults can help them get to their classes in the beginning of the year. They offer a variety of classes that are a nice blend of academics and fun and really have the kids engaged. My son just enjoyed his summer here and raved about it daily! He even wanted to be dropped off early! They have a very nice open house towards the end of summer school to be able to see what your child has been doing. The teachers do a great job of showing what the children have been learning and it's amazing how much they do over the course of the weeks. There are 2 morning classes, a midday care (lunch optional and separate) and 1 afternoon class ending at 2pm. Alternatively they have a care that lasts through midday through all afternoon (I think till 5:30ish?). So there are good alternatives depending on what your needs are. Summer classes run roughly $500 each with midday care a separate price. I believe the afternoon care is a different price as well. Ample information on their website and what I love is that you can register at the same time as the children who attend the school. FANTASTIC!

    I have fond memories of visiting this school as a parent and parent of alum. The school's culture…read moreemphasizes exactly what "hanahauoli" means...Happy Work. They encourage students to love learning and doing. They encourage teamwork. They foster community by all of their school traditions. They encourage parents to accept their children's individual uniqueness and strengths. Each student I have met has such strong self esteem and a happy demeanor. I thought the former Headmaster who has since retired was amazing. He knew and greeted each child every day. What a blessing to attend this school or their annual Children's Fair.
