Kauluwela Elem is 135 years old!

RIF volunteer, Fred Sheng, visited Mrs. Romy’s second grade class on February 15th.

Kauluwela Elementary was mentioned in the Star-Advertiser’s “Rearview Mirror” column by Bob Sigall as being “at the same location…since 1888, the 14th year of King David Kalakaua’s reign. The school had Oahu’s first telephone…and electric lighting. School equipment didn’t include a water fountain…water ran into a wooden trough where students could dip water with their hands to drink or simply put their faces into the water.”
