Bishop Public Schools host Easter Egg hunt

Easter is just kauai news right around the corner and Thursday, kids at Bishop Public Schools were treated to a visit by none other than Peter Cotton Tail.

And they were given a chance to find the illustrious “Prize Egg” during their Easter Egg Hunt.

The annual egg hunt is sponsored by the Prince Hall Lodge Number 9, with the help Saint Mary 88.

And the egg hunt is a part of their continuous mission to fundraise and give back to the surrounding communities.

This year, organizers packed anywhere between 4- to 5,000 eggs so kids had plenty eggs to find.

Students were also a visit by the Easter Bunny.

Military officials, soldiers and their families attended a retirement celebration on Fort Sill Thursday.

The post said goodbye to Fort Sill Marine Detachment Sergeant Major Jerry “Eric” Lopez.

Lopez said he is a bit nervous, leaving behind everything he has known for the past 26 years.

But he said he’s glad to have worked alongside so many great people, who are now, more like family. kauai news

”I think that’s what it is, it actually is family,” Lopez said. “Our civilian, our counterparts with the Army, and just the Marines in general, we are a different kind of breed. That just goes, because we are family. We’ll take care of each other when we need it, it’s just a phone call away.” kauai news

Lopez said while it’s hard to leave the Marine Corp, he is looking forward to spending extra time with his wife and his daughters.
