"Kaulele (Taking Flight)" at Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School
"Kaulele (Taking Flight)," a bronze and stainless steel sculpture by artist Kim Duffett, was dedicated this week at the Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School. The school, located on Schofield Barracks in Wahiawa, has over 900 students, most of whom are military dependents. This bronze and stainless steel sculpture by Kim Duffett depicts an ʻio - Hawaiian hawk - flying through ocean waves.

Call for Schools: 2019 Poetry Out Loud
During the fall and winter school season, September 2018 -- January 2019, schools are invited to participate in classroom and school wide contests, advancing to a state competition on Sunday February 24, 2019. State champions will advance to the national finals, to take place on April 30--May 1, 2019, in Washington, DC.
The program encourages the study of great poetry by offering educational materials and a dynamic recitation competition to high school students across the country. Poetry Out Loud helps students to develop analytical and public speaking skills, while building self-confidence.
"In today's tumultuous world, poetry is a space for youth to find and use their voice in a powerful way," said Poetry Foundation President Henry Bienen. "Students involved in Poetry Out Loud spend time with the poems they recite, learning to see them from many angles. That deepened connection makes poetry an extension of young people's lives and experiences that they are eager to share."
High schools that wish to be part of the official Poetry Out Loud program must contact Honolulu Theatre for Youth by January 11, 2019 to participate. Honolulu Theatre for Youth will work with interested schools to include them in the official Poetry Out Loud program. Schools that are not in the official program may conduct their own contests using the online resources. Contact Tamara Smith at (808) 839-9885 extension 704 or visit www.poetryoutloud.org for more information.
