“How can we positively embody the ‘Ohana spirit’ in our lives?”
In the first semester of the Korean language class 2023-2024, students actively engaged in learning about the Korean language and culture, focusing on creative and collaborative activities. Building on the foundation of expressing their thoughts accurately and enriched in Korean, as well as reading and writing various words proficiently, students devoted ample time to contemplating ways to show love and assistance to family, friends, and neighbors. They crafted cards with Korean messages to convey support to neighbors suffering from the Maui fire, and they presented beautiful songs and rhythms at the Christmas concert, reflecting on the meaning of Christmas. By learning how to share and respect others’ opinions, students collaborated to create a stop-motion video, weaving a collective narrative. Through these enjoyable activities, students became familiar with the Korean language and culture, enhancing their collaborative and communicative abilities as learners.

“How can we create a better school environment?”
Keawe emphasizes the importance of perseverance and kindness in creating a better environment. Quoting from the Bible, “A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.” Keawe stresses that having an attitude of tolerance and forgiveness towards others is a cornerstone of mature citizenship. He explained that Those who quickly lose their temper may cause conflicts, while those who are slow to anger can bring disputes to a peaceful resolution.
“Hello, my name is Keawe. I’m APIS 3rd grader. I’m nine years old. I love to play basketball because it’s so much fun. I like salmon it’s delicious. I like the book, “Secret of the hidden scrolls.” And, I love my family, my mom, dad, Kaleo, Nawai, Mealani, Sai. Thank you! “
