Dear Kearns,
Our People of the Pacific (P.O.P.) students participated in the annual Who Got Roots singing and dance competition over the weekend.
This competition is open to all school districts. They had started practicing since about November after school and in the evenings only and then over the break. We haven’t participated since about 5 years ago, so it was monumental that we got overall 2nd place and 1st Place in the Wild Card section!!
If you see the following students, please congratulate them! For the last month, they have practiced in the evenings at different houses almost every day.

Thank you to Ms. Hurzeler, Mr. Riebe and Ms. Britt for helping supervise and support!
Thank you to all who have given encouragement and support to these students in choosing to remember their roots and culture instead of other less productive things:)
Sincerely,
Perry and Fuapau
