Our teachers attended an Apple workshop on Saturday, 9/27, where they got to be the students for the day.  The workshop gave the teachers a chance to learn more about the new technology we are using in the classroom.

Both the Boys and Girls teams achieved 2nd place while Kahea Poepoe, Cy Ornellas and Sam Ostermiller were among the top finishers at last weeks X-Country championship meet.  Official results will be posted soon.

Please download and fill out this form if you would like to have your child bring the school issued laptop home during fall break (Oct 6 – 10). Forms need to be signed and returned to your child’s advisory teacher no later than October 1.  Failure to return this signed form by October first forfeits the use of the laptop during the break.

Aidan Wright (director/editor) and Jaelynn Nobriga (reporter) were nominated for “Best profile by a Middle School” by PBS Hawaii for their story on Dr. Greenberg called, “Substitute Teacher.” The story investigates why someone who is an inventor, college professor, author, etc. would substitute teach at a middle school.  Out of the hundreds of videos received each year, it is a great honor to be nominated, especially since these students did all of this during their own free time.

Kumu Eva’s class entertained their fellow classmates on Thursday, September 18th, by spontaneously performing a hula during lunch.  Everyone got quite the surprise and the dancers got a “Hana Hou”!

Salt and Light – Matthew 5: 13 – 16
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.“

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
