Aloha, from Kapolei, Hawai'i! Our team is made up of students from Kapolei Elementary School, located on the west side of the island of O'ahu, in the beautiful city of Kapolei. We've been working long and hard on this project. Since last July, we've met everyday after school and gave up our recesses to create this website. We chose to focus our project on the bombing of Pearl Harbor because we felt that it was important for kids our age to understand the story behind the attack. Most importantly, we wanted others to begin to solve their problems or differences in more positive, peaceful ways so that we all can live in a world without violence and wars.

My name is Scott. I am 10 years old and a fifth grader at Kapolei Elementary School. I enjoy bowling, rollerblading, soccer, and karate. After doing this project, I learned that when people have differences, they should solve their problem by talking things over before turning to violence and war.

 
Hello, my name is Jacob. I am 11 years old and a 5th grader at Kapolei Elementary. My hobbies are playing baseball, strumming on the ukulele, and racing slot cars. I learned one important lesson from doing this project: you cannot solve anything by going to war. War deceives and destroys, and violence should not be a choice when solving problems.
Hi, my name is Dean. I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. My favorite sports are football and basketball. From this project I learned that there are no winners in a war. I also learned that people should get together to work as a team, or cooperate, so that they can live in harmony on earth.
Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 10 years old. I like to collect and build models, especially military ones. I also like to read military history books. From this project I learned that there are better ways to solve problems than to have people die and suffer in a war. If people have differences, they should discuss the problem together and work out a solution that is beneficial or fair to all.
Aloha! My name is Patrick. I am 9 years old. I like to listen to Hawaiian music and play the ukulele. From this project, I learned that fighting (and war) does not solve problems. It makes things worse and more complicated. We should solve problems peacefully by talking things out and not being afraid to say sorry.
Hi! I'm John. I am 9 years old and in the 4th grade. My hobbies are reading, playing soccer, working on the computer, and playing video games. Two things I learned from this project was what really happened on December 7, 1941 and the reasons why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. I now realize that if everyone had good values such as peace, love, cooperation, and respect for each other, there wouldn't be wars.
