A new forever lei maile now lives on the Waiʻanae Intermediate School stage inside the cafeteria. A simple offering of aloha for the keiki and community who gather here. 🌿
E ka maile lau liʻiliʻi o Koʻiahi,
Nā wai e honi hoʻomaū i kou ʻala?
O small-leaved maile of Koʻiahi,
Who will continue to breathe in your fragrance?
Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, dated June 30, 1877, page 4.

Leʻa Ke Kau ʻAi
The time for food is pleasing.
Our newest mural inside Waiʻanae Intermediate School cafeteria wraps the walls with color, memory, and nourishment. Through this artwork, we honor the foods, tools, and ʻike of our kūpuna, the ways they gathered, prepared, and sustained life from mauka to makai.
From ʻulu, kalo, limu, ʻopihi, ʻōpae, and ʻolena to ʻupena, mākau, hīna’i, loʻi, loko iʻa, and more, each image carries a story of abundance, ingenuity, and connection to ʻāina.
This mural is an offering for every haumāna who walks into this space, a reminder that food feeds more than the ʻōpū. It feeds the maka, the naʻau, the mind, and the spirit.
Mahalo nui loa to Waiʻanae Intermediate School for trusting us with this wall and allowing us to create something that will continue to nourish the eyes, hearts, and future generations of this community.
Until the next one,
Leʻa ke kau ʻai.

It is a reminder to students to honor their roots as they forge bright futures.
