"It is Principal Doreen Higa's dream to have all grades, K-6 put on a drama production," commented Momilani Elementary School Counselor, Lance Nishihara. "This year, music was added and it's awesome to hear the kids singing. I believe it is Director Bill Ogilvie's 3rd year working with the students," Nishihara added.
