E Ola Pono: An Art & Video Competition for Hawaii's Students Grades 4-12 Sponsored by the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission in conjunction with PBS Hawaii. View the E Ola Pono Posters Visit the E Ola Pono Student Videos Ho'omaika'i ia 'oukou--congratulations--and mahalo to the students and schools that shared their vision of pono.
Selected art and video entries will be presented in E Ola Pono, a half-hour, locally produced program to air on Thursday, March 27 at 8:30 p.m. The program will take a closer look at Keaukaha Elementary School and its "Got Pono?" campaign. The school, whose student body is predominantly comprised of students of Native Hawaiian ancestry, uses the concept of pono as a way to unify students, families, teachers and community members around a set of shared values and common goals. As a result, the school is now looked upon as the piko or center of the community, and its recent success is a testament to the teamwork and dedication of all those who call Keaukaha home. |
