The Hokuloa Singers were blessed by visits from two outstanding groups this week, the Men's and Women's Choirs of Concordia University from California on Tuesday, and the Dixie University Show Choir from Utah on Thursday.
The Concordia choirs dazzled with their polished, powerful and nuanced performances, while the members of the show choir from Dixie University amazed and delighted with their numerous virtuosic solo performances, vibrant choreography, and heartfelt, enthusiastic, and often humorous showmanship. Both groups inspired, informed, as well as entertained their audiences.
History Day
Students participating in History Day research a historical question in great depth and present their findings as a paper, documentary, website, display board, or live performance. During their weeks of research, participants investigate historical documents and/or conduct interviews with experts as they consider their topics from a multitude of perspectives. On April 14, Summer Royal ‘21 and Hailey Kawamura ‘20 represented ‘Iolani School at State History Day competition. Hailey's paper on the implementation of Title IX earned two special awards: the Foundation of Hawaii Women's History Award, and the Wurst Family Foundation Award. Summer's documentary on the Suez Canal Crisis earned three special commendations: the Hawaii Association of School Librarians' Award, the History Day Award for Excellence in Historical Research Using Primary Documents, and the National Maritime Historical Society Award. Congratulations to two special scholars!
