Chiefess Kapi'olani Elementary School

Congratulations to our Kōlea who worked so hard for this moment—you are finally alumni of Chiefess Kapi’olani Elementary! As you embark on a new journey we hope your memories of CKES guide you to even greater heights. Mahalo for all of your hard work and warm spirit. A full album of graduation highlights will be available on our website. Have a safe and wonderful summer!

Showing up can be the hardest part of any task in life but these Kōlea serve to be models of what it looks like to show up every single day. We salute these hard working students who came to school every day for the entire year! Your passion and dedication to your education is seen and we congratulate you all on this special achievement!

Mahalo, Aloha Kia, for your generous donation of food and gift cards to our Chiefess Kapi’olani ‘ohana. Summer breaks can sometimes leave our keiki with uncertainty but your donation will help address some immediate needs. We are so grateful and it is community partners like Aloha Kia that keep Chiefess Kapi’olani The Place To Be.

You worked hard this 4th Quarter and we are so proud of you all! You definitely earned this fun celebration! Mahalo to our hardworking staff for putting this together for our Kōlea.

Congratulations to our hard working Kōlea for showing up every day to learn and be the best that you can be.

We’d also like to thank the family and friends who came out to see their keiki perform. Mahalo to our special guests who took time out of their busy schedule to attend as well.

Aloha Kōlea! Our Grades 5 and 6 had a blast at Dolphin Quest last week! This is a great way to round out the school year—by learning about conservation and compassion for marine mammals and encourage future careers in science and research. Mahalo to everyone who made this trip possible! More pictures to come. Also visit our website for a complete album.
