Mahalo! Junior Police Officers



As the school year comes to a close, I would like to recognize our Junior Police Officers for helping to maintain a safe school environment.  These students volunteered to work every 3 weeks before and after school to monitor our parking lot and the crosswalk at the back entrance to our school.  In addition to being dependable and responsible, the carried out their duty with enthusiasm and a positive attitude.  I truly enjoyed working with this group of 5th graders throughout the year and wish them well as they go to middle school.

Mahalo,
Mr. Shimabukuro
