The Lanikai School PTSA’s Concert Under the Stars will feature two Windward bands and a “surprise headliner” from 4 to 9 p.m. April 28 at Lanikai Community Park.<\/p>\n
The concert kicks off with a chant by the students at 3:45 p.m., followed by Kailua Bay Buddies, Breath of Fire and the surprise guest. Families also can check out the student art, food booths, activities and a silent auction. A shuttle will run from the school to the park, where only low-back chairs are allowed and no alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n
A portion of the silent auction proceeds will benefit the fourth-graders’ upcoming social studies tour of the Big Island.<\/p>\n
Tickets cost $20 for adults and $10 for keiki in advance, or $25 for adults at the door. For more information, go to lanikaielementary.com.<\/p>\n
In light of the severe budget cuts statewide, the annual fundraiser is especially critical this year when the per-pupil outlay is even more dire for public charters schools like Lanikai. According to school director Ed Noh, charters already receive $250 less per pupil than other DOE schools. Lanikai, however, is holding on to its art, music and P.E. classes – and high academic scores – while hoping for a boost from the public at the concert.<\/p>\n
Supporters also may donate via PayPal on the website, or make checks out to Lanikai School and mail to 140 Alala Road, Kailua, HI 96734.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
