2024 Waimea August Meeting-- Back to School

Waimea Community Association’s 5:30-7 p.m., Thurs., Aug. 1, 2024 Town Meeting will once again spotlight back-to-school news for Waimea’s diverse educational community including eight schools - public, private and public charter.
Representatives of Waimea Elementary, Waimea Middle, Kanu o Ka ‘Aina, Waimea Country, Parker, Hawai’i Preparatory Academy and ʻAlo Kēhau o ka ʻAina Mauna - a satellite emersion school of Ke Kula o Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu Iki have been invited to provide an overview of the year ahead including keeping students safe, cared for, progressing academically, socially and culturally, and how the community can support this next generation of youth.
There is no charge to attend WCA Town Meetings and everyone is invited, said WCA President Nancy Carr Smith.
WCA’s Aug. 1 town meeting will be in person at the new Waimea Community Center (the former Mamane Bakery at 64-1056 Mamalahoa Highway, Kamuela) and concurrently streamed “live” on WCA’s Facebook page / waimeacommunityassocia... . It may also be viewed “live” via CZcams by going to www.WaimeaTown.org for a link. The meeting will be saved to Facebook and CZcams for on-demand viewing thereafter. Also, as always, questions are welcome - ideally in advance - by emailing [e-mail].
Also on the town meeting agenda will be an update by Waimea Community Policing representatives.
The month's spotlighted not-for-profit will be Malama Pono Kohala, formerly known as the North Hawai’i Domestic Violence Action Committee. Malama Pono Kohala’s mission is to prevent and eliminate intimate partner violence by working with community partners, providing information resources, and advocating for programs and providers in our community. Volunteers focus on identifying barriers to providing services and solutions for survivors of domestic violence.
