I am sending some pictures of the"Show and Tell" organized by Jennifer L.,
in Waikoloa. It was a wonderful eventand we had so much fun! The kids did a
really good job, and the most importantpart: they had the opportunity to present
before an audience!!! As a parent having
a child enrolled in an online charterschool always look forward to
opportunities such as this one to
complement my child's education. Themoms I have met who attended the
event said they kids loved the experience
and they couldn't wait to do it again andthat they were already thinking on what
to do next.
Thanks so much for sharing the timesand dates for events such as this one.
This one repeats each last Tuesday of
every month, at the WaikoloaCommunity Room.

COUNSELORS CORNER

How to gain Self-Esteem?
Always, always hang around positive people who encourage, respect and see your good qualities. It can be parent, a coach, a teacher, a classmate, or a friend.

The person should also be able togive positive and constructive feedback. These characteristics are crucial to helping a person build their self-esteem.
