Elementary School students take journalism workshop

Kilohana School second-graders learned how to interview famous people, taking an advantage of a hands-on workshop offered by Kamehameha Schools and The Molokai Dispatch. A week earlier, Kaunakakai School second-graders went through the same workshop.

The Molokai Dispatch staff inspired second-graders at Kilohana and Kaunakakai schools with hands-on journalism workshops. The little students loved to learn about the life of a reporter, and everyone said at the end of the workshop that they want to be a reporter when they grow up.

Todd Yamashita and Léo Azambuja conducted the workshop at Kaunakakai School on Feb. 27. Jennifer Smith and Léo Azambuja conducted the workshop at Kilohana School on March 6. Alestra Menendez and Kilia Purdy, from Kamehameha Schools, organized the workshop.
