Aloha Peace Wall

Last spring, the fifth and sixth graders worked on a joint project called The Aloha Peace Wall.

Students decorated fabric squares with thoughts, phrases, and pictures that represented their message of "Heiwa" (Peace) and Aloha. These squares were assembled into "quilt-like" murals and displayed at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center during the Maui visit of the Dalai Lama. The murals were recently displayed at the State Capitol during Hawai'i's inaugural Peace Day.
