The state Depart- ment of Education has named Kahuku Elementary School kin- dergarten teacher Makena Ale and academic coach Deanne Takeno of Maun- awili Elementary School as Complex Area Teachers of the Year and finalists for the 2023 Hawai‘i State Teacher of the Year recognition. Ale works in the Castle-Ka- huku Complex and Takeno is in the Kailua-Kalāheo Complex. In October, the state teacher of the year will represent Hawaiʻi in the National Teacher of the Year program ... Kailua resident Renee Schwein- berg announces that there is an International Student Exchange program that helps kids from other coun- tries find host families so they can study for a year in America, and the host fam- ily can learn about another culture.

Those inter- ested in hosting a student or two can contact Schwein- berg with ISE at 928-362- 9891 or email katt2609@ icloud.com ...
