M.A.S.K Class
The 5th and 6th grade classes
go deeper into their knowledge by finding the answers
themselves or discovering for themselves why things in the
Hawaiian culture are the way they are. Students
research and learn the major importance of the Hawaiian
culture which is life of both land and people. They
learn to appreciate and to express their discoveries through
ancient ways of creativity which is through music &
hula.
