Teachers
I'm pleased to announce that the
theme for our 2010 Parents And Children Together
Kids Day Creativity Contest is
"Pohai Ke Aloha" -- Never
Ending Aloha.
Once a year The Honolulu Advertiser
together with Parents And Children Together
(PACT), publishes a special Kids Day edition.
Oahu students from grades 1 through 12 are given
the unique opportunity to express themselves
through their art and writing and be published
in The Honolulu Advertiser for all of
Hawaii to enjoy!
Students
are encouraged to submit original stories,
poems, or artwork for the Kid’s Day Creativity
Contest. Entries must relate to this year’s
theme, "Pohai Ke Aloha" and be submitted
by 5 pm on Thursday, March 11, 2010.
 One
winner per grade will be selected, and his or
her entry will be published in a special Kids
Day edition of The Honolulu Advertiser on
May 5, 2010. Winning entries will also receive a
$100 award.
 As
you know, newspapers can be valuable educational
tools. PACT is working hard through various
sponsorship efforts to make copies of the
Parents And Children Together Kids Day edition
available to every student in Hawaii - a great
addition to the day’s curriculum!
Even better
- have your students actually participate in the
event by submitting their own work for
inclusion. Teachers may introduce the idea
through classroom discussion on this year’s
theme, "Pohai Ke Aloha" and then let the
creative juices flow!
Suggestions for younger students:
Younger students may need more coaxing to
unleash their imaginations, and often the most
creative pieces we receive start from very
simple ideas:
-
What does
"Circle of Aloha" mean to you?
-
There is
no beginning or end to a circle. What
does this mean to you?
-
How long is never ending?
-
Why should aloha never end?
-
There are
lots of circles in our lives, such as
Circle of Life and Family Circle. Can
you think of others?
-
Who is
inside your circle of love?
-
A Circle
goes around. If you give Aloha does
that go around too?
-
Never
ending means it will never stop. Can
you have never ending love?
Who gives you never ending love?
-
To whom
do you give never ending love?
Suggestions for older students:
-
What does
never ending aloha mean to you? What
would happen if it ended?
-
There is
no beginning or end to a circle. What
does that mean to you?
-
"Aloha" means many things to
many people. What can you do to spread
"Never Ending Aloha" in your community?
-
Who is inside your circle of
love?
-
What does "Never Ending Love"
mean to you?
-
"Circle"
implies that it goes around -- you receive
and you give -- Why is that so important?
-
There are
lots of circles in our lives, such a Circle
of Life and Family Circle. Can you
think of others?
-
How
important is it not just to love, but to be
loved?
-
What
happens when the circle is broken?
-
Family is
important, but are there others who consist
out of your circle of love?
Can there be many circles of love?
-
What can
we do to be a part of Hawaii's "Pohai Ke
Aloha?"
