Thank you, Ms. Andrea and Ms. Le'Ann for your dedication to caring for our special population of students with such excellence and commitment -- inside and outside of the classroom. I love working with the two of you!

2024-01-13 04:41:44 UTC

Thank you Nami!!!

2024-01-13 04:51:46 UTC

Nami has been an EA for many years at Waikoloa school. She has taken on roles and jobs beyond what is expected of an EA. She is amazing and is still beloved by teacher and students. She goes the extra mile and takes no glory. I really hope this doesn’t embarrass her, but she needs to know how much she is appreciated, valued, and loved. Thank you Nami!

Thank you Cindy at Waikoloa sped PreK!

2024-01-13 04:58:44 UTC

You are such an amazing person to work with. The kids love Cindy and it’s obvious that she cares for them. Thank you for always busting and all you do!

Kumu J Reed

Dear Mr. Sean

2024-01-13 05:47:12 UTC

What would I do without you? Thank you for coming into my room while I was gone. The kids respond so well to your patience and kindness and always request you if they know I'm going to be out. They'll say, "Oh Kumu J, don't get a sub, please PLEASE ask Mr. Sean!" Know that you are loved and we are so grateful for your unique skillset and flexible nature. Thank you!

Kumu J Reed

Dear Miss Patti,

Oh, Mrs. Tanaka! You truly make Pa'auilo a better place to be. I don't think I can even express how deep my gratitude is towards all that you've done to support me, my classroom, and our students. You have been there, fully supporting me, from the very first moment I walked into my classroom. It most definitely hasn't been rainbows and sunshines everyday, but your constant support, your willingness to be understanding and helpful, and your nonjudgemental attitude have helped me not only become a better teacher, but also a better human being. I am so entirely thankful for you! Thank you for laughing with me through the crazy, and always coming into my classroom ready to support in whatever ways you need. All of us at Pa'auilo are beyond lucky to have you!!

Aunty Loke

2024-01-16 08:30:36 UTC

Inspiring! One word to describe how I feel about you. You have been such a help this year. I greatly appreciate all of the time and energy you've given helping me organize my classroom. You are always doing tasks to take things off of my plate, and that does not go unnoticed. It has been such a joy getting to spend a class period with you! Thank you for always stepping up, supporting as many kids at once as you can, and always offering to do things when you don't have to. Your positivity, work ethic, ability to listen, willingness to understand, and your patience have impacted me, the science lab, and Pa'auilo in such a wonderful way. All of us are lucky to have you! -Lindsey (-:

To our Pa’auilo EAs…Thank you!

I know everything you do is for the students. From the early morning duty, rain, wind or shine you keep the students safe. You are great listeners when the student tell you about what is happening. They trust you.

I appreciate all the tangents of projects I ask you to do. I could not personalize our teacher appreciation week without you.

I also am glad that you find the sewing class something you can do outside of your day. I know it brings you joy.

2024-01-16 23:48:41 UTC

I often think about how it must be challenging to step into multiple classrooms each day and work with multiple groups of students with little or no advance knowledge of what you're going to be asked to do. You never know from one day to the next what is about to happen in here, but you're always ready to support the students. I'm not sure I could do your job and am very appreciative for all the support you give. Thank you for the way you quietly keep students focused and on task and how you support our needier students. Your smile, positive attitude and laughter brighten my day and help keep me sane. -- Brenda

Aunty Loke,

2024-01-16 23:54:37 UTC

I appreciate the relationship you have with the students here at Paauilo and the way you are able to help me contain a class of 29 wiggly sixth graders. You're always warm and smiling, but you also always mean business, and the students get that. (This just reminded me of a story I'd like to share with you, but I won't do it here.)

I've worked with a lot of EAs through the years, but few have been as proactive as you. You see what needs to be done and take care of business. I don't think I could have done it this year without you. Mahalo! --Brenda

Thank you to all our Honoka'a Elementary EA's!!!

You are always out and about before school, during recess, lunch and after school, taking the time to speak with our students, whether it's checking in on them or just casually visiting and talking story. It's those interactions that truly make a biggest difference for our students and our staff.

Aunty Stef - HHIS

2024-01-22 07:19:17 UTC

Aunty Lei, Aunty Laurie, Goldi, Mr. Ross - we would be nowhere without you. Not only do our kids rely on you deeply in every way, but you have always been a source of sanity, reason, validation, knowledge and experience for new teachers like me; most importantly you've been willing to share that when you've got more on your plates than anyone at the school can ever know, understand or appreciate. If I followed each one of you for an entire year, I still would not be able to document all the ways you contribute to our keiki through what you do for the school, how you support the community and communicate with parents; and you ALL do it with GRACE, humility and confidence. You are my actual heroes at this school. I continue to try and learn from you. Thank you again for giving your energy in the ways you do, especially how you've helped me in particular. I truly feel lucky to know you better than many of the general education teachers have the chance to.

<3 with Aloha,

Rabayah

HO'OKENA!!!!

Thank you to the most amazing EA's around! You all go above and beyond every day to help our students and teachers! You are vital to our school's success. I don't think you all know how much of a difference you make at KES and how greatly appreciated you all are. Thank you for your patience, dedication, collaboration, teaching and your commitment to the students you work with every day. It does not go unnoticed!

"Aunty Val" is the perfect puzzle piece to our classroom and our team. She loves and cares for each of the kids, pays attention to their strengths, needs, likes, dislikes, and uses this information to build special relationships with each student in the room. Val is motivated, self-sufficient, and goes above and beyond to support our classroom. It wouldn't be the same without her. She has tricks up her sleeve that come in handy in the most ideal times, and she is willing to do whatever you ask of her. I appreciate her humor, her understanding, and her openness and willingness to try new things or do things in new ways. She truly is in it for the kids, but this year in particular she is in it for not only the kids but our team as well. We all love her so much!
