This year, Kaiser will be serving in Waimānalo at the top of our watershed, at the Nation of Hawaii, a 501(c)(3) organization. They have a cap at 130, so we will shut down the sign-up once we hit that number. Cougars sign up soon! Every volunteer will get a free shirt.
See flyers around campus to sign up, or go to H102.
What is Aloha in Action?
Kaiser, Koko Head, Kamilo'iki, 'Āina Haina, Haha'ione, Niu Valley *(and this year Waldorf!) all choose a non-profit organization to partner with and choose a location to provide some service. All projects happen on the same morning. Each school handles its own service project and planning, but we all meet afterwards for a potluck at the Kaiser cafeteria, supported by local restaurants, PTSAs, and volunteers/families at each school
Join us for a community Potluck!
With our community wide service event, Aloha in Action, on April 19th just around the corner. The Student Body is happy to announce that we will be holding a potluck following all the good service. We are looking for any possible donations for our potluck following the service event. Anything would be greatly appreciated, things as simple as utensils, platter of food, chips, or whatever is possible.
