"I really liked
the Maui Arts & Cultural Center CanDo! Day, but ...
the day went too fast!"

Auli'i, 3rd grader at Kihei School



 

 

CanDo! Days

Since the inception in Fall 1995, CanDo! Day has become the most popular field trip on Maui for students in grades 1 to 5. Each school year, professional Maui artists lead over 6,000 students and their teachers in hands-on sessions in drama, movement/music, and the visual arts. Each grade level's activities are standards based and focused on a theme.

2007-08 Education Brochure

"The importance of the arts in education can’t be overstated. Exploration of the arts in schools isn’t about uncovering America’s next great talent – it’s about the healthy development of our children. The arts inspire us with their beauty and introduce us to new cultures and concepts – but they also build students’ self-esteem, teach problem solving, and give children an unfettered avenue of expression. "

-Jan Harp-Domene, PTA National President
