“These are supplies that are listed on most of the schools’ lists,” said Melissa McFerrin-Warrack, special events coordinator at Kukui Grove. “We also have some enhancements, including colorful pencil sharpeners and pencil cases.”
Additionally, the first 500 students to register were able to choose free books while filling out their passports through the Fun Zone of 15 vendors offering services and information people could find useful once school resumes.
Entertainment included the Rising (Summer) Stars from the Hawaii Children’s Theatre, Bandwagon and Kimberly Hope.
