The Rotary Club of Kahala Sunrise (RoCKS) provided Student Dictionaries to every 3rd grader at Āina Haina Elementary School and Wilson Elementary School. These dictionaries support independent learning, build vocabulary, and strengthen reading comprehension, helping students grow confidence and curiosity beyond quick online searches. A small book with a big impact helping shape lifelong learners and future leaders!
Mahalo to Emma Enloe, Crisis Outreach Coordinator with the Sex Abuse Treatment Center, for speaking with the Rotary Club of Kahala Sunrise.
Emma shared important insights on sexual violence and the critical services SATC provides to survivors and our community. These are not always easy conversations, but they are necessary ones. We’re grateful for her compassion, professionalism, and dedication to advocacy, education, and healing.
