Mahalo Waikiki School PTO for Another Amazing Valentine Dance!
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us at our enchanting annual Valentine Dance on Friday, February 9, 2024. Our Waikiki School Ohana danced the night away, creating wonderful memories together. Thank you to our phenomenal Mrs. Erin Young for leading our keiki and parents all night on the crowded dance floor!
The event was a delightful culinary journey with an array of tasty treats and food options catering to all ages and palates. This remarkable overall experience wouldn't have been possible without the dedicated efforts of our Valentine Dance PTO Committee. We extend our sincerest thanks to Whitney McCallum, Browning McCartin, Leigh Bovaird, and Chelsea Leitner-Fouts for orchestrating such a fantastic evening. We also can't forget about our wonderful PCNC Dolly Bahn for her countless work hours behind the scenes to make this event happen.
We also extend special appreciation to Pastor Max Fowler and David Do of Salt + Light Hawaii, Tammie Kaleikini, and her exceptional A+ team, as well as our diligent Waikiki School custodians, for their invaluable assistance in setting up for the event.
A big thank you goes out to all the volunteer parents whose hard work and dedication contributed to the success of the evening. Your efforts, including working the snack tables, throwing away the rubbish, and resetting the picnic tables to their original positions, are greatly appreciated.
Once again, thank you to everyone involved for making our Valentine Dance a memorable and joyful celebration for our mindful school community!
