5th Grade Q & A

This morning, counselors from Mililani Middle School spent some time with our 5th graders talking about life at MMS.  Students wrote questions on index cards ahead of time and the counselors gave a short answer for each one. "How many classes do we have?"  "What about recess?"  "What if there's a fight?" 
Mahalo to Mr. Joel Shiroma & Mrs. Tricia Ho for answering these types of questions and giving reassurance to students who might be nervous about going to middle school.  Also, thank you to our own Mr. Brian Matsushige for helping to organize this event.

Student Council Elections



Students in grades 2, 3, & 4 applied what they've learned about government and civics by participating in elections for student council officers.  Candidates spent the past few weeks practicing and preparing for presentations.  Today, they stood on stage in front of their peers and made their case.  Afterwards, students went back to class and cast their votes.  Congratulations to all who participated.

Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast



Shelving books in the library, supervising children on field trips, helping at the flu shot clinic or planning special events...  Mahalo to all of our volunteers!

Cafeteria News



Starting on May 9, 2011, students in grades 3, 4, and 5 experienced a change in how lunch is served. Instead of being served specific portions by our cafeteria staff, students in the upper grades will be offered a choice on what and how much to take for most side dishes. Main entrees will still be served by our staff, but students will serve themselves for fruits, vegetables and other items. This directive from the School Food Service Branch of the Department of Education, not only cuts down on waste, but also allows our students to be responsible for making good choices and apply what they have learned about health and nutrition.

"Sort It Out" - Assembly



Students learned about recycling through skits and songs from the City & County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services.
