First photo: La’a Ibarra, 7, holds the stuffed bunny he just won at Fun Factory while posing with sister Lilia Bradley, 6, in front of the Easter Bunny Saturday at the Maui Mall Village. The free socially-distanced Easter event drew about 180 people lined up for the start. Children were given gift bags and invited to participate in a coloring contest with the winner set to be announced Friday. The Easter Bunny was played by Marissa Molina of Imagination Reality.

Kahikinui keiki no longer have to weather any rain or intense sunlight while waiting for the school bus.
A new covered bus stop was installed off Piilani Highway near Mile Marker 23 east of Ulupalakua for seven of the children living in the remote community who attend Punana Leo o Maui and Kula Kaiapuni schools.
