May Day

Barbers Point Elementary School

...an annual Hawaii school celebration!

May Day at our school is a joyous celebration of song and dance, pretty flowers and happy smiles, and decorative, colorful costumes. Each grade level performs a dance and the 5th graders are selected to the royal court featuring a King and Queen, royal attendants, and complete with conch shell blowers and blessing kahuna. May Day at BPES is an affair that is elaborately done with the help of the staff and community, who decorate our outdoor stage, help to dress the royal court, and provide the live music to add to the excitement. May Day is truly Lei Day at Barbers Point Elementary!
