    Hi! My name is Caryn, and I was born and raised here on Oahu. My youngest son is currently in his first year at Waikiki School and it feels so special to now be part of a community I’ve always heard such wonderful things about. I’m eager to support Yamato and the PTO in any way I can, and I’m looking forward to meeting more of our amazing staff, families, and community members along the way.
