In May, Kahuku's ELL students stepped forward - despite an unexpected school closing - and gave shining performances at the Windward District's Multicultural Speech Festival. Students from several area schools participated in the event, but Kahuku brought the largest delegation of students to the event. Each of Kahuku's three classes performed as a group: the 7th and 8th grade class performed challenging tongue-twisters by Dr. Seuss, the 9th and 10th graders performed a touching piece about a kind act of friend, and the 11th and 12th grade students performed an inspiring poem about perserverence. Finally, three brave students, Gordon Finau (11), Eseta Kamoto (10), and Micah Ruth Angeles (9) gave solo performances. Each of these students charmed the audience in a unique way.

The event included cultural performances from many students and was followed by an outdoor lunch that allowed students from the different schools to relax and socialize.

Kahuku's students enjoyed the event at the lovely Paliku Theater at the Windward Community College. Students rose to the occasion and proudly represented their school in classic Kahuku style. Special thanks to the Windward District ELL staff for coordinating this fun and fabulousevent. More pictures of the event can be seen
