If you did not get to vacation in Hawaii over spring break, Turtleback Education Foundation is bringing a bit of Hawaii to Rancho Bernardo later this month. The foundation is organizing a family-oriented luau open to all in the community from 5-9 p.m. Friday, April 27 at Turtleback Elementary,
15855 Turtleback Road in Rancho Bernardo. Admission is free. Tickets will be sold for various activities and refreshments available for purchase. There will also be 30-minute sessions offered throughout the evening for children, with a price of $3 to $5 per session. Foundation President Kristen Crane said organizers chose a luau theme for their biggest fundraiser
because it is “a fun spring theme ... (plus) turtles are part of the Hawaiian culture.” In addition, Turtleback’s PTA hosted a fall harvest festival and earlier the foundation hosted two smaller fundraisers, a wine event and a parent-child Valentine dance. Crane said there will be a lot of entertainment, including dancers from Pualani’s Hula Studio in Rancho Penasquitos and Westview High School;
and Sunset Strummers, a ukulele group from Vista. In addition, there will be many games and other activities like face painting. Parents wanting to have some adult time during the luau can enroll their pre-school through fifth-grade students in 30-minute programs. Space is limited, so they must be registered in advance.
