Grandma Helen had the kind of heart that made our whole school feel warmer. Our students didn’t just adore her...they loved her. The Warrior Store was her special place, and the joy on her face matched the excitement of every child who walked through the door. Rain or shine, she was there. And if the shelves were ever low, she quietly filled them with items she purchased herself, simply because she wanted to see our students smile. That was Grandma Helen...giving, thoughtful, and endlessly kind.

She never missed a moment. Every assembly, every music concert, every school event...she was there, cheering on our students with pride and love. Story time spent with Grandma Helen was more than just stories...it was treasured storytelling about Kalihi long ago, shared with warmth and wisdom.

Her presence was a gift to all of us. We will miss her more than words can say, but we are so grateful for the light she shared with all of us.

We will miss you dearly, Grandma Helen. ❤️

Grandma Helen was a fixture of our school…always around, always volunteering, always smiling. We appreciated her help with everything & especially, for me, with our Warrior Store. We just opened our store for the quarter today & I teared up hearing the students ask me where grandma was. Grandma was truly selfless & made an impact on everyone she met. I will miss her & talking stories with her & cracking up laughing together. Thank you Grandma for all the memories & the true friendship, love & joy you brought to our lives. We will never forget you! We love & miss you dearly!

Grandma Helen was exactly that…the grandma of Kalihi Kai. She started as a family member who simply wanted to support her grandson’s schooling and became the grandma of the school every knew and appreciated. She became involved in our WASC visits, helped to run our Warrior Store, and was a consistent attendee at SCC meetings, Winter Concerts and Awards Assemblies. She grew to know so much about the school system, she became an active member in other school communities. Her involvement impacted every school in a positive way, always with kind words and an infectious smile. Grandma Helen, we love you and will miss you💚.

Helen was a great grandmother to me and I loved her dearly. She was very supportive to me and I tried to help her whenever I could. Always a selfless, caring soul. I remember sharing many wholesome conversations and moments with her. I will miss her greatly and continue to pursue my dreams as she would want me to. o7

in honor of Helen.

She was my best friend and the greatest Mom in the world. I will miss her smile and her infectious laugh.
