Another school year has come to an end and our \u02bb\u014dpio have grown as a result of many wonderful learning experiences they had throughout the year.\u00a0 They have risen to meet the expectations of a rigorous program and have excelled in and out of the classroom.\u00a0 It never ceases to amaze me when I reflect on how much our students have changed in just ten short months.\u00a0 Their successes are a direct result of their hard work and perserverance, coupled with the commitment we as a school \u02bbohana have all made to their continued growth and development.\u00a0 E ho\u02bbomaika\u02bbi e n\u0101 \u02bb\u014dpio, n\u0101 makua a me n\u0101 kumu i ko \u02bboukou hana pono!<\/p>\n

Many of you may know that our beloved Kahu Gaymond Apaka transitioned home to our heavenly father two weeks ago. He was a steadfast disciple of Christ, encouraging students and all people he encountered to embrace the teachings and love of Jesus Christ. We are truly blessed to have had a gentle and loving Kahu as part of our \u02bbohana. \u00a0He will definitely be missed.\u00a0 Please join me in sending prayers of aloha to the Apaka \u02bbohana.<\/p>\n
As you know, I will be transitioning to the Associate Head of School position over the summer.\u00a0 This move is a bittersweet one for me as I have been a part of the middle school since 2001; first as a 6th<\/sup> grade teacher, then a curriculum and assessment coordinator, and most recently as po\u02bbo kumu.\u00a0 While my kuleana will still keep me connected to the middle school, I will certainly miss the day-to-day interactions with our students, \u02bbohana, faculty and staff.\u00a0 Our kula waena is an amazing place, I send my sincerest aloha and mahalo for your support over the years.<\/p>\n I wish all of you a wonderful summer filled with rest, rejuvenation, and many wonderful memories.<\/p>\n Me ke aloha pumehana,<\/p>\n Scott De Sa,\u00a0Po\u02bbo Kumu o Ke Kula Waena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aloha Mai K\u0101kou e Ka \u02bbOhana Kula Waena, Another school year has come to an end and our \u02bb\u014dpio have grown as a result of many wonderful learning experiences they had throughout the year.\u00a0 They have risen to meet the … Continue reading
