Principal's Message

Aloha,

I trust this message finds you well amidst the challenging times we've faced due to the recent Lahaina wildfires. As we embark on the reopening of our beloved school, I extend a warm welcome to each member of our resilient community.

Ensuring the safety of our students, faculty, and staff remains our top priority. Rigorous safety measures have been implemented to create a secure environment, allowing us to focus on rebuilding and moving forward. Your well-being is at the forefront of our efforts.

In the wake of such events, it is crucial to acknowledge the impact on mental health. We understand that healing goes beyond physical restoration, and our school is committed to providing support for the emotional well-being of all our members. Counselors and resources are available to assist you or anyone in need.

Now, more than ever, unity is our strength. As a Lahaina community, we rise together, demonstrating the resilience that defines us. Let us embrace this opportunity to rebuild not only our physical surroundings but also the bonds that make our school a family.

In the spirit of moving forward, we have planned various activities and initiatives to foster a sense of togetherness and optimism. By standing together, we can overcome challenges and emerge stronger than before.

I look forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming everyone back to Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena Elementary School, including our beloved King Kamehameha III community members. Together, we shall overcome and build a future filled with hope, growth, and shared accomplishments as one united school community. Let us embody the spirit of Lahaina Strong, proving that our collective strength is unwavering in the face of adversity.

Mahalo,

Gary Kanamori, Principal
