“They’re going to be very loud, tonight,” said Megan Nii, the advisor for the Elsie Wilcox Elementary School Creative Arts Program on Friday when about a hundred of the CAP students were invited to Kauai High School by the Raider Production Program to participate in the halftime during the Kauai Interscholastic Federation boys basketball games against Waimea High School.
“They’re going to be very loud, tonight,” said Megan Nii, the advisor for the Elsie Wilcox Elementary School Creative Arts Program on Friday when about a hundred of the CAP students were invited to Kauai High School by the Raider Production Program to participate in the halftime during the Kauai Interscholastic Federation boys basketball games against Waimea High School.
And the CAP students did not disappoint as they chanted “Defense” while trooping up the stairway to a section at the new Kauai High School gymnasium following a bento-style meal prepared by the Kauai High School culinary arts department, and a tour of the campus led by Raider Production and other Kauai High School students.
Parents, relatives, and friends of the young performers jammed the safety zone for photos and videos of the CAP students performing a variety of dances during the short 10-minute break.
Heather Morgado said the invitation to the Kauai High School feeder school is not limited to just Wilcox School. On Jan. 23, the Red Raiders and Team Unify will do a special basketball gaame with Special Olympic athletes, and on the list of future invitees are students from the King Kaumualii Elementary School.
Kudos to Shannon Hiramoto, founder of the January is Muumuu Month, on inaugurating Kaiaulu at Hale Lihue facility with “Muumuu Repair Drop-in &Sew Day” (and whose birthday was it, anyway?) where Jodi Ascuena was doing repair on a puka in one of Victor’s shirts (remember the Elvis shirt from “Blue Hawaii movie and Hawaii History trivia night” at the Kauai Veterans Center?)
Tickets for the Muumuu Paina Luncheon featuring the Niihau Shell (among other muu things) are available online by visiting the Kauai Historical Society website at www.kauaihistoricalsociety.org where you’ll find other January is Muumuu Month happenings, some being free.
