Bulletin Board  Aloha to a New Year  If you were to ask Emerald
Skye from Oahu (see pages 18–19), she would tell you that in
Hawaiian “aloha” means hello or welcome. You can say “aloha” to
a new year by making a colorful lei.   Construction paper in
different colors  Plastic drinking straws     Hole punch     1.
1.      Draw the outline of a flower onto different colors of
construction paper.    2. 2.      Cut out the flowers and punch
a hole in the center of each flower.    3. 3.      Cut the
straws into 1/2-inch (1.5 cm) pieces.    4. 4.      Cut a piece
of yarn that is 30 inches (76 cm) long.    5. 5.      Slide
three different colors of flowers onto the yarn; then slide on a
straw. Repeat until about 2 inches (5 cm) of yarn are left on
both sides. Tie the ends of the yarn together into a knot.  If
you want to give your lei to someone special, place it on their
neck, give them a kiss on the cheek, and say, “Aloha!”  Ask
Yourself …  What are some blessings that remind me of Heavenly
Father’s love?  Pineappl
