Mahalo..

American Savings Bank and some of our Kaneohe Staff teamed up on Saturday, August 27th to paint lines for the students to follow when walking to and from the cafe. What seemed a simple job at first took hours to complete. They also repainted the curbing so no parking and loading zones areas are made clearer. Thank you American Savings bank employees from Kaneohe and Kailua. You have made a difference for the students of Kaneohe Elementary School.
