We will also be celebrating the debut our new school logo, successful HSA test scores, our continued military partnerships, as well as our fantastic students and their families.
We'll have music provided by Saloon Pilots, a local bluegrass band, and Pu'uloa, who performed at May Day last year. Fire Dancing and other children's entertainment will round out the evening. Food will be available for purchase from Bob's Pizza and Aloha Salads.

Book Fair News
| The sneak attack book fair is off to a great start. The setup was accomplished in one morning by energetic and hardworking volunteers - Gina Esposito, Espie Chapman, Marjorie Wallace, and Jim Wallace. The fair will continue to be open daily after school until 3:30 until Tuesday, August 24th. On August 24th it will be open for the 3rd to 6th grade open house from 4:45 to 5:45, and then again on August 28th from 5pm to 8pm at Lanikai School's WASC Accreditation Celebration.
In the first two days the fair raised approximately $900 - WOW!! This year the funds will be used to continue updating our non-fiction collection. Thanks to the other wonderful parents who are helping to make this fair a success: Scott Ritchie, Michelle Flores, Cheryl Herndon, Missy Odom, Dawn Harrison, Meredith Hinz, Andrea Kellogg, Brooks Maurer, and Ginger Lockette.
Thank you parents and families for continually affirming how blessed I am to work at Lanikai Elementary, Mrs. Lee
