The Mokulele Citizen knows how to: - Take care of myself - Take care of each other - Take care of our school

Purple Hand Pledge: “I will not use my hands or my words for hurting myself or others.” At Mokulele Elementary School we recite this pledge daily. The Purple Hand is a symbol of unity as we have the power to value every individual’s choice to use our words and actions to help…not to hurt…ourselves or others. This pledge reminds us tall to stop and think before we say or do anything hurtful. Tribes agreements: Attentive Listening- Listen with your eyes, ears and heart

Right to Participate/ Right to Pass- The more we participate, the

more we learn. We have the right to pass on personal sharing

but not on academics

Mutual Respect- Treat others the way you would like to be

treated, or even better

Appreciations/ No put downs- use kind words and don’t

say hurtful things

Safety- always think “safety first!”

The new Arts and Crafts center on Kuntz Avenue was opened on February 16, 1973
