In addition, the Elementary school has an Ukulele Club open to all students. The Ukulele Club performs weekly at the Monday Morning Assemblies, Friday Aloha Assemblies, as well as during special performances throughout the year.
Our music program allows our students to showcase their musical talents in singing, ukulele, recorder and Orff instruments. All the musical skills that they have achieved throughout their Elementary years come together and allow the students to shine.

K-CLUB
We want a place for people who like K-Pop to be able to listen to it and dance to it freely. A lot of people are passionate about K-Pop, so we want to make a place where you can talk about it with people that are just as interested in it as you are.
