The Rotary Club of Ala Moana was delighted in installing a Rotary Peace Pole at its adopted school, King William C. Lunalilo Elementary School on Wednesday, February 25, 2026.  The Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony was held in the school's Peace Garden with members from our club, Hawaii Rotary, State of Hawaii Department of Education, community leaders, the media, and students/faculty of the school in attendance.

Once upon a recent time, the Ala Moana Rotary Club embarked on a remarkable journey known as the "Smart Start" mission. Predicated upon the belief that every student deserves to begin each school year with a confident, prepared stride, this program was born out of compassion, dedication, and a profound understanding of the plight faced by too many families.

This year, the Smart Start program's primary objective was to assemble and donate 60 fully-equipped backpacks to the children of Lunalilo School. School supplies, often taken for granted, can be a significant financial burden for families. We were determined not to let this adversity hinder our future leaders.

Club members labored tirelessly, gathering donations and stuffing backpacks full of essential supplies to ensure a bright start to our student's academic year.

The Ala Moana Rotary Club recently concluded a clothing drive that drew participation from different corners of our island. Many people devoted their time, sorting through their homes and pooling gently used clothing for the students at Lunalilo School.

This initiative saw its beginnings with Past President Sue Ann Lee. During a school visit, she noticed a student wearing clothing that had definitely seen better days. From this observation sprung the belief, "If children feel good when they go to school, they'll be more likely to have an improved readiness to learn."

People heeded this call to action and responded generously with donations. The pile of clothes eventually filled half the size of a cafeteria!
