Five thoughtful KIS sev- enth-graders — Phoebe, Hi‘ilei, Emma, Braelynn and Tatum — rushed to my rescue. These caring, loving, attentive students helped me up, walked me, my backpack, helmet and bike to the classroom, and checked on my injury. Grati- tude overwhelmed me as pain and massive swelling grew.
Thank you very much to KIS security guards Wyatt and Ian, vice principal Joe Wood and student Dharmakaya who assisted in the classroom while my neighbor, Rudy Ahlo, gave me a car ride to urgent care. Thank you to Kristen Kane. who gave me a ride to Adven- tist Health Castle for X-rays, and Tina Yee-Hoy who spe- cial-delivered my bike to my home. I truly felt priceless and supported.
Those beautiful 12-year- old urgent responders, plus adults, who helped me after my accident deserve commu- nity accolades! Mahalo to the seventh-graders’ parents, too. Together, we strive to share values embedded in programs like Foundation of ALOHA and Choose Love. Pure aloha
