I happened to see a project for a second grader to provide a family history and calculate the % of" Hawaiian blood" (that's how it was explained to me).It looked like family album.But on the top was the circle with colored segments for the different ethnicity/race running in the family.That second grader didn't have much Hawaiian blood,something like 10%.
I didn't have a chance to ask more about the project . Good to know your family history but this Hawaiian blood percentage..
Any teachers or parents familiar with this?

You know, it can be a legal issue. I don't see anything wrong with it anyway.
Alex, just wondering, what school was this affiliated with ?
Personally, I think its a Bad, no STUPID thing to bring stuff like this ( race difference ) to the attention of this new generation.
aloha,

Kamehameha Kapalama campus has a very competitive 4th grade admission that includes sending in the final 2nd grade report card & admissions testing in third grade.... perhaps this is info is gather for students that may be considered for competing for one of the few 4th grade positions???

The "race" and "Hawaiian blood" -those words I heard.But I didn't take a good look.Just remember a "Filipino" segment.May be the parent made a mistake saying "race".
