CONGRATULATIONS to Alanna Dinsdale, who placed 2nd and Camryn Idio, who earned an honorable mention in the grades 3 -5 division, of the 2025 Mayor’s Memorial Day Poster Contest!

This annual contest challenges students to create a poster for the City’s “Sew a Lei for Memorial Day” effort, to place a fresh lei on the approximately 38,000 graves within the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Pūowaina (Punchbowl) for the annual Mayor’s Memorial Day Ceremony.

This was a great opportunity for our students to express their creativity and show appreciation to our military servicemen and servicewomen.

MAHALO, Mrs. Sameshima, for encouraging our students to challenge themselves creatively while developing a loving heart for others.
