Fun, learning at two fairs
Haha‘ione Elementary School will hold its annual STEPS fair and its Family Fun Fair together on March 9 on the school grounds.
STEPS — Science & Technology Exploring Possibilities by Students — is an event where students, especially in the upper grades, show off their knowledge with science projects ranging from inventions to class murals.
The school needs volunteers to share expertise in science or technology from March 7 to 14. Volunteers also are needed to help the school set up the science/
technology displays on March 8 and to take them down on March 14.
The fun fair is sponsored by the Parent-Teacher-Student Association, which is seeking volunteers needed to help on the day of the fair and to find donations.
For more information call the school’s Parent Community Networking Center facilitator Johnette Maielua at 397-5822.
