Welcome to 2018!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to 2018! I hope that all of you had an enjoyable and safe holiday season. I am truly grateful for all the support that you’ve provided to Holomua Elementary School. Our students are ultimately the benefactors of our efforts as we continue to work together as a school community. Holomua Elementary School is a “special” place because of the students, parents and staff. Let’s continue to strive for excellence and set high expectations for all of us. Let’s have a wonderful second half of the school year!

Sincerely,

Gary Yasui, Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Holomua is already in the third month of the school year! Thank you all for contributing to a smooth opening of the school year. The students have acclimated themselves and gotten into a groove. Thank you for all your support in attending Holomua's Curriculum Night and reminding you to attend this month's Ohana Fair (9/15). This event is always fun for the students. Proceeds from each grade level stays with the grade level. Holomua's annual fall fundraiser for Blue and Red Tracks will be kicking off at the end of the month. Thank you for your continued support throughout the school year.

Sincerely,
Gary Yasui, Principal
