May Day is Lei Day

Here's your chance to show off your lei-making skills as well as spending some time with your child, passing down your knowledge and expertise about lei. We are having a lei contest! The winners of the lei contest will be announced at our May Day program next week Friday, May 12. There are five categories to choose from: Original, Traditional, Beautiful, Colorful, and Best Use of Recyclables. Turn them in on Thursday, May 11, for judging (rules and guidelines are below). You'll be able to see all the wonderful submissions when you come to our May Day program. Good luck!
