What your neighbors are talking about on social media
- One of my 6th graders had a laser pointer in class.
I confiscated it. He started to cry, so I sat with him. "Let's just keep this safe until class ends. It would suck if it got broken in your pocket."… (Nextdoor Aina Haina) - I'm so impressed with our neighbors and their willingness to help out seniors.
I want to thank Adam, Briana and Motoaki for your help. You are so trustworthy and sooooo wonderful. THANK YOU!!! (Nextdoor Downtown Honolulu)
