Our NR Mgmt program of study just completed another successful traditional Hawaiian cooking imu workshop at Baldwin High School.

 

Mahalo to the many wonderful and supportive teachers, staff, and administration at Baldwin High School who helped to make the Baldwin High School Agricultural Program and Aloha ʻĀina Club Imu Workshop a success.

 

We had over 250 students participate in hands-on Hawaiian cultural place-based education and learning about traditional Hawaiian cooking.

 

In addition to learning about Hawaiian cooking and agriculture, the students harvested fresh vegetables from the B.H.S. Ag Program's school farm and cooked them in a traditional Hawaiian imu on campus.

 

Huge Mahalo to Kumu Ikaika Nakahashi for planning, organizing, teaching, and leading our imu again this semester. Without your guidance, this would not be possible.

 

Mahalo to Terry Kahea Miller for your hard work and support and for donating out of your own pocket for supplies and ingredients. We appreciated your providing a delicious dinner to the evening imu crew.

 

Mahalo to Taape Hoku Laloulu for your hard work and support, especially for providing overnight security. Your leadership and great positive relation with the students was a big help.

 

Mahalo to the B.H.S Hawaiian Education and Hula Kumu Hulali Silva for your hard work and support. Your Hawaiian language and hula students contributed to the imu's success.

 

Mahalo to Skippy Hau for your hard work and support. Your sharing of valuable life lessons with the students inspired them.

 

Mahalo to Bill Tsolis for your hard work and support. We appreciated the food you provided, especially the two homemade hot sauces to dip the kālua pig in.

 

Mahalo to Sunny Savage and your intern for donating many locally foraged and sourced ingredients to make a beautiful and delicious fresh salad. It is nice to have refreshing salad at imu meals. I loved how excited the students were to see the salad being made and to watch their faces light up when they ate it. Not often do I see students excited about salad, but they were excited about your salad.

Mahalo to Kumu Ikaika's wonderful mom, Monica Gouveia-Nakahashi, for your hard work and support. She helped organize the food preparation and get the food line efficient. Ikaika loves getting to do educational things with her.  Having a kind person like Monica in a student's life can make a tremendous impact.

 

Mahalo to Theresa Thompson for donating enough fresh haupia to feed over 250 people. Your haupia was very popular.

 

Mahalo to Ko'ikuokalani Lum for your hard work and support. Your inspiring stories and manaʻo really helped to uplift the students to continue to do great things in school and life.

 

Mahalo to to Shelly Kalei Shelley Muneoka for your generous donation that helped to purchase many of the local ingredients for the imu workshop.

 

Mahalo to Kahele Dukelow, her brother, and her family for setting the foundation and keeping the B.H.S. imu tradition strong for us to be able to continue doing imu today at B.H.S.

 

Mahalo to the many other staff and community members for supporting and helping to make the imu workshop possible for the students.
