Principal’s Advisory Council – PAC
I had the opportunity to “hang out” with a great bunch of students last week Wednesday at our first PAC meeting. These enthusiastic student leaders are ready to make a different in our kula! Stay tuned for great things from these PAC members as they help to give our student body a “voice” in certain aspects of school life here in our kula waena! For more information on our PAC, ask any one of these great students or click on the PAC link above!
A hui hou e Mrs. Kramer! We wish you well on your new journey!
Mrs. Kramer has been with Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi since 2004 working as an administrative coordinator in our kula waena office. You may have experienced her helpfulness at one time or another if you came into the office or called for help. Mrs. Kramer has decided to move back to the mainland to be closer to her ʻohana and we wish her well. She has been an amazing part of our ʻohana and we are definitely going to miss her. Her last day in our kula is Friday, September 21, 2012. Stop in and give her your aloha!
Day 1 a.k.a. Upload Day a.k.a. ‘Oi Kelakela Day!
What does day 1 represent to our kula waena ʻohana? For one, it signifies the start of a new 8 day cycle in our rotating schedule. Day 1 is also the day when teachers upload their grades to KS Connect as a way for students and parents to monitor progress. Finally, it’s a day when the kula waena faculty and staff remind the students to strive for ʻoi kelakela! What exactly does ʻoi kelakela mean? It means be the best that you can be in all that you do. Whether it’s working on an assignment, practing hula, teaching, supporting our daily operations or caring for our grounds, everyone needs to do their very best. How are you striving for ʻoi kelakela?
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to school! I hope you all had a great summer filled with fun and relaxation. The walkways and halls have come to life now that everyone is back in school. The first week was a HUGE success! On Tuesday, August 7th, we officially welcomed 65 new students and 2 new faculty and staff to our kula waena ʻohana. We also celebrated the beginning of a new era at KSH under the leadership of Dr. Holoua Stender, our new Poʻo Kula. Students had the opportunity to meet all of their teachers and have been trying to acclimate themselves to the daily routine of school. Everyone celebrated the end of our first week with a welcome back dance sponsored by our awesome ASKMS leadership team. We anticipate many wonderful memories as the year progresses.
