Citizen-ScholarsAloha, On Wednesday, we hosted our 17th Annual Citizen-Scholar Awards ceremony via Zoom to recognize and honor 41 outstanding seniors from public schools around the state. These students truly epitomize the term "student-leader" in that they have excelled in the classroom and in their communities.
Each of the above students received a $1,000 scholarship. After carefully reviewing the applicants, we also selected the top Scholar for each county, each of whom received an additional $2,500.

Mahalo to both the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and the State Department of Education who help to make this important HLTA initiative a success. My warmest thanks also to our sponsors- without the generosity of the following organizations, we would not be able to reward and recognize this class of student-leaders:
#HiGotVaccinatedIn June, the #HiGotVaccinated campaign will launch, bringing together local government, community partners, and a wide variety of small businesses to encourage locals to get vaccinated in the month of June. At the time of writing this, just over half of Hawai'i residents are fully vaccinated and, as you know, we are working tirelessly to push this number closer to 70% which would bring our community closer to herd immunity.
As such, the #HiGotVaccinated campaign is looking for partners who are willing to donate in support of this cause. There are currently two different ways that you may contribute:
Finally, the #HiGotVaccinated website is up and will soon feature a directory of promotional offers and prizes. Please keep an eye out for updates at higotvaccinated.com. Mahalo, Mufi
