Posted on by

Tuesday was the first day on the new campus for Kihei Charter School. The campus is now located at the top of the Maui Research and Technology Park.

The new space is more than double the previous school location. The property is located on 3 acres, and host students from grades kindergarten through high school. Due to limited funds and expired leases, most students have had limited in classroom classes since August, but have been learning through virtual school online.

Teachers formally had to share classrooms and offices were limited. With the new building not only will teachers get their own classrooms, but the band will have their own designated band room for practice. Other possibilities to add to the school include a fitness center with workout equipment.

Parts of the school are still under construction. As the needs of the school change they will have options of how to utilize the extra space. If your interested in donating to help the school, they are currently in need of cooking equipment.

 

New Guided Tour In Makawao Town

Posted on by

Makawao History Museum will be hosting guided tours the first Sunday of every month through December. If after the three-month trial the tours become popular, the museum may keep them.

The tours will give participants a feel of what Makawao was like during the 1920’s-1940’s. Makawao was the center of social life for the farmers and plantation workers. Movies were only 10 cents, and friends would gather at the local barber shop for haircuts and games.

Although the buildings are now boutique shops, art galleries and restaurants, the original architectural style that makes the town so unique remains. The tours are free, however a $5 donation is suggested. Next tours will be at 10 am November 4th and December 2nd!

Posted on by

Although Tropical Storm Olivia passed through Maui a week ago, the aftermath is still ongoing. Residents in Honokohau Valley are continuing with their clean up efforts even with no water available. The storm not only washed away personal items, but homes and cars as well.

Volunteers have come and helped with the clean up and thankfully provided food. Donating supplies and hauling away debris so that residents can focus on rebuilding. Residents who were spared damage have helped get aid to those in need and rescue stranded residents.

Residents are still in need of help! Building supplies and helping hands are essential. If you are able to donate, please email haumaui@gmail.com to find out what the most vital items are.
