Congratulations to all of the 12th graders on reaching a major crossroad on your educational highway!
Congratulations to all of the 12th graders on reaching a major crossroad on your educational highway!
Mahalo to Melissa McFerrin-Warrack, David Sosner and the Kukui Grove Centert management ‘ohana (the legalese term is “team”) on recognizing this achievement by celebrating the shopping center’s high-school seniors on its social-media platform. Great job, Tiffany Dick of Aloha Dance Studio, for allowing Shalyn Vegas of Waimea High School and Jannelle Puplava of Kaua‘i High School an opportunity to get creative with their respective caps and gowns (yes, all three public high schools’ graduation ceremonies today are in-person this year!).
Alina Puig (she’s graduating from Kapa‘a High School today!) with the Flip Flop Shop (yes, Denise and Coach Z — we remember when Chloe graduated from Kapa‘a, too. She’s dealing with the COVID-19 by taking her liberals at Kaua‘i Community College!) is a dancer, too, and says she likes Birkenstock footwear because they have good arch support for her activity.
Ernie Domingo and Ronnie Matsumura had an extended lunch hour at the food court (did you see the new sign?), when they were joined by other kupuna in a project trying to figure out who “A R” from which Kaua‘i High School class lost their class ring. Cynthia Sone of Sone’s restaurant was busy fielding autograph-seekers for Amalya Sales, and if Kyla (there’s two of them on the Deja Vu Surf Hawai‘i team!) Koerte’s name is on the window, does that mean she is graduating from college?
And what about Mark Bonilla (remember Sasha from his high school Senior Project?) of Jamba Juice (note that new Milky cereal banner across the walkway)? No high school seniors on staff?
That’s all right. The new Milky is supposed to open in time for the Memorial Day weekend. Crow’s Nest is already growing in its temporary spot next to Partea!
