Aloha!  Welcome back to school!  I hope you all had a great summer and are looking forward to first grade!  I'm looking forward to a new school year filled with learning and growing!  
 
I started my teaching career as a third grade teacher at the Hongwanji Mission School In Nuuanu. I then transferred to Kalei'opu'u Elementary School in Waipahu where I taught kindergarten. I've been working with the Waiau Ohana for the past 17+ years!  I enjoy working with such a compassionate, dedicated, and hard working team! 

Outside of the classroom, my interests include playing tennis, traveling, reading nonfiction books, hiking, yoga, attending concerts and shows and eating out.

I'm looking forward to an exciting school year filled with growing and learning together!
 
Mrs. Hirata
