Character Counts!(sm) Celebration

On Saturday (2/20), the public schools in the Mililani Complex Area sponsored the Character Counts!(sm) Celebration at the Mililani Town Center. This event had two main goals: 1) to promote character education; and 2) to provide information on community resources for families. Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring & Citizenship are the core ethical values encouraged throughout our complex. A TeRRiFiCC time was enjoyed by all!

Lunch Time Story "Unlovable"

Members from the Student Council read the story "Unlovable" during lunch and talked to the audience about one of our core ethical values - caring.

High Schoolers Talk about Fairness

Students from the Mililani High School Marching Band performed a skit for 4th graders about one of our core ethical values - Fairness. The moral of their story... "Everyone's happy when 'Character' counts."

Pictures from Camp

Last week, Grade 5 students went to Camp Erdman for 3 days and 2 nights. Here are some pictures as they leave campus and participate in night time activities.

Character Counts! (sm) Week Begins with a Quiz

During lunch on Monday, members from the student council quizzed the audience with questions about our core ethical values: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. When asked, "How can you show caring?" one student answered, "By helping someone up after they fall down." Several students from each grade level got to answer a question and select a prize. What a way to start a TeRRiFFiC week!

Jump Rope for Heart

Students in Pre-School, Kindergarten & Grades 1-4...
got their hearts pumping,
and their feet thumping,
as they were all jumping,
in the Jump Rope for Heart.

Second Graders Receive Target Grant

Congratulations to Mililani Mauka second graders for receiving an $800 Target field trip grant. The grant will be used to help defray the cost of their field trip to Maili Beach Park for their annual reef walk excursion. This excursion is part of the second grade Curriculum Sharing Day, and will address two Hawaii Benchmarks: 2.3.1—Describe how animals depend on plants and each other; 2.5.2—Identify distinct environments and the different kinds of organisms each environment supports. Way to go second graders!
