Kuhio Elementary observes 120th
Kuhio Elementary School will celebrate its 120th anniversary with a lu'au and fair at the school from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 15.
The school was founded in 1884 as Kamo'ili'ili School and renamed Mo'ili'ili School in 1888 when it converted from a Hawaiian language to English language government school. It was renamed again in 1923 for Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole, who died the previous year.
The event will include entertainment, games, prizes and baked goods.
Presale tickets for the lu'au plate are $12 for adults and $8 for children.
