K – 12 Punahou Families: We Need Your Help
Every year, Carnival couldn't happen without the help of our entire Punahou posse, and we are so grateful for the time and energy our families contribute year after year. This year, we're inviting parents and guardians from any grade level to join Carnival preparations early and get a peek behind the scenes at the many important tasks that lead up to Carnival weekend.
