Iselle, Julio, and a very busy week ahead!

Aloha!

Thankfully we escaped the potential damage that Iselle and Julio could’ve caused to our school and community this weekend.  Faculty and staff worked hard to ensure that our valuable (and limited) school resources were put away, tied up, or locked down..... mahalo nui to all!
