Kalani students express their personalities through their skating style, decorations, and even the scuff marks on their boards. These are some of the skateboards that belong to the students that go here. They are all in a secure stand where they are kept throughout the school day. This skateboard stand is located in front of the office right next to the library entrance. This represents skate culture here at Kalani. Students have various ways of getting places according to their preferences and age. Kalani students are diverse and their personalities are unique in every way. That’s part of what makes Kalani, Kalani.

Kalani’s D building mural was painted for the Class of 2018. Handprints of some students from that class are placed on and around it with a beachs golden sand and blue ocean wave. This mural is a representation of Kalani’s strong sense of community and artistic talent. The detail and shading shows the effort and care of the students. And the handprints left behind display their sense of belonging to this school.

This mural can be found in the upstairs hallway that connects C and D buildings. This is a great visual representation of Kalani because it shows how in the end, it is going to be great. The sun represents great endings and what is to come. The strong waves and sea represent the tough times in between. These tough times, though, will prepare you for life and help you achieve whatever you put your mind to.

Mural reminds us that challenges make us stronger

From the Koko Head Ridge you can see the Koko Head Crater Botanical Gardens and the Hawaii Kai past it. The sun had just risen in the photo so for the first time in that morning hikers were able to see the town, gardens, ocean, and other mountains clearly.

Prices on food soar in the latest round of inflation. Students quickly learn how to budget when the choice is either food or gas money. Finding good deals these days is a cultivated skill of trial and error.

Kalanis bowling team waits for their bus after a long three-hour match on Thursday, Sept. 22. The time was approximately 8:20 p.m. when I captured this photo. I decided to take this photo to highlight things you dont notice when youre moving too fast. Before this, I bowled one of the weakest matches of my season, so I was feeling overwhelmed and disappointed. I went to the bathroom, stood in the stall, and took a minute to try and recuperate before being presented in front of everyone again. While waiting, one of my friends took me on a walk (unknowingly about my feelings).e went back to the group when I saw the K-Bay Lanes sign lit up so beautifully. Ive only seen it in the daylight, so it made me feel better when I saw its red shine through. It made me think of the sign and not what was consuming me in my head.

High school sophomore Christynne Devera looks up at the camera with makeup in her lap. Devera has faced anxiety and insecurity throughout her life and every day is a constant struggle. Anxiety has affected my decisions and how I act,” Devera says. However, self-consciousness among teens is not uncommon. In fact, DoSomething states that over 70% of teenage girls 15 to 17 years old skip regular activities due to the fact that they feel insecure. Despite the battle against a negative mindset, Devera uses make-up as an escape and a way of expressing and exploring her self-worth. “Makeup has helped me boost my confidence by showing myself what can be and how I look at my very best,” Devera expresses.

A pacific golden plover (Pluvialis fulva) and a house sparrow. Though many of Kalani’s birds are socially well adapted, the plover is one exception. Called kōlea in Hawaiian, aptly meaning “one who takes and leaves,” it is largely solitary in nature. In this rare instance, the plover relents to share a piece of bread with the sparrow, though not before several failed attempts to scare the latter away.
