Summer Fun
Yeah, summer is just around the corner. It's a busy time for most kids. They attend summer school; go to camp; work on improving their skills in athletics, arts, or on the computer; and they even learn practical stuff like sewing and proper pet care. There is just so much to do; how does a kid choose?
To help kids plan their all-important summer days, the Star-Bulletin will be running a Summer Fun list.
Send items for the list by April 4 to: Summer Fun, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, P.O. Box 3080, Honolulu HI 96802, or fax the information to 523-8509.
Fantastic Fair
A "Land of Literacy" awaits at Pearl Harbor Kai Elementary, where each grade level has set up food and activity booths - from the kindergartners' Magic School Bus Land to the fifth- and sixth-graders' Cloud Puffs confection and Mirror, Mirror game.
The Bookmobile arrives to give readers a chance to exercise their library cards. And, for the first time, fair-goers can seek a bargain at the book exchange in the cafeteria.
The Family Fun Fair will be open from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Admission is free, although some activities may require scrip or cash. For details, call the school at 421-4245.
