'Iolani School summer students in kindergarten to fourth grade will march in the school's annual Fourth of July parade this morning at the school's stadium.

After the 10:30 a.m. parade, a program, themed "We Are The Children of America," will follow on the field. The campus is at 563 Kamoku St. The parade is open to parents and other students.

Robert Arakaki, president of the 100th Infantry Battalion Veterans, will serve as grand marshal. The 100th's clubhouse has been an 'Iolani School neighbor since 1952.

HMSA TO AID MEDICAL SCHOOL

The Hawaii Medical Service Association this morning will present a $75,000 grant to the University of Hawai'i's John A. Burns School of Medicine to help encourage Neighbor Island students to pursue healthcare careers.

The grant, which will be presented at 10 a.m. at the school, will go to the school's Area Health Education Centers (www.ahec.hawaii.edu)on the Neighbor Islands to help high school students explore healthcare industry opportunities in their communities.
