East Hawaiʻi Island now has three new public preschools for our keiki and ‘ohana! 👏 I had the pleasure of visiting Kalanianaʻole Elementary, Keaukaha Elementary School, and Keaau Elementary School with Big Island legislators to see the new classrooms and meet the pre-K students and teachers.

These new classrooms will give families across East Hawaiʻi the peace of mind that their keiki have a trusted pre-K close to home or work. With #ReadyKeiki, we’re committed to preparing our youngest learners for the future and supporting the needs of families across our islands.

To learn more about free, public pre-K, visit readykeiki.org.

The Legislature’s quick distribution of the $50 million nonprofit grants from Act 310 underscores the vital role nonprofits play across our islands—especially in times of uncertainty. From rural healthcare to social services, child care, education, food security, and housing support, our state relies on these organizations to meet community needs that the state cannot meet alone. Organizations, including the statewide food bank system, which expanded services during the recent federal government shutdown, continually step up to ensure our communities have access to the support they need. 

Our investments reflect our values, and the Act 310 grants make clear that supporting our nonprofit partners remains one of Hawaiʻi’s top priorities. I want to especially thank the Act 310 Evaluation Committee members: @senatordonovandelacruz, @hirepresentativedanielholt, @senatorkanuha, and @reptakenouchi for their diligence and commitment to our community, and mahalo to the Legislature for recognizing the impact of our nonprofits and investing in the communities they serve.

At the Lieutenant Governor’s Office, one of our core responsibilities is providing apostille and certification services, or the official state authentication needed for documents used overseas.

We’re excited to launch a major modernization — Hawai‘i’s new Apostille and Certification Online Portal. For the first time, residents can submit applications online, make secure electronic payments, and track their requests from start to finish, all in one place.

This is a small but meaningful step toward a more modern, accessible state government. We’re committed to making public services easier, faster, and more convenient for everyone. Learn more at ltgov.hawaii.gov.

Last week I visited the newest preschool classroom at Hāna Elementary — which is also the state’s newest Hawaiian language public pre-K! 👏

Hāna is a close-knit community, so it’s exciting to expand early learning for our East Maui ʻohana while also offering education for our youngest keiki rooted in Hawaiian values, language, and place-based learning.

Mahalo to Hana School for showing us aloha during our visit. To see all the public preschools across our state, visit earlylearning.hawaii.gov.

This past weekend, Hawai‘i Foodbank hosted a food distribution event at Leeward Community College, providing much-needed support to families during these uncertain times.

It was truly inspiring to see friends, neighbors, and loved ones come together to care for one another. Many in our community still need support and food assistance — if you’re looking to give help or get help, please visit the State of Hawaiʻi’s coordinated relief efforts page for available resources at the #linkinbio.
