May Day at IPA

This is a bit of a late post, but I thought I'd share our lovely day at school as we celebrated May Day 2014!  It was a beautiful day--nice breeze, not too hot, and no rain!  May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii.  It is a day set aside to celebrate island culture and the culture of Native Hawaiians in particular.  Song and dance usually accompany the celebration, and this day was no exception.  Each grade level performed a hula, including the faculty and staff.  All around, it was a great day!  

Afterward, I invited people over to my house to BBQ and enjoy the pool.  I love being able to host people!  Here are some pics from the day's festivities...

Here is my homeroom looking lovely :)
