Reflections on Open House and a football game against HPA…

Mahalo to everyone who made it to our Open House last Thursday; we had a great turn out of parents and family.  Everyone had a chance to hear about our Title 1 plans before breaking out to visit individual teacher classrooms, the book fair in the café, the Achieve3000 presentation or to purchase student pottery items right outside the band room.  The PTSA made over $300 from the chili sale and also signed up over 30 new families.  Thank you to all of our staff members and volunteers who made Open House a success!

The WHS varsity football team launched their season on Saturday night at Hanapepe Stadium with a game against visiting Hawaii Preparatory Academy from the Big Island.  Down 14-0 at one point early in the game, our boys plowed ahead to post a 20-14 lead until the last three minutes of the game when HPS scored and took a one-point lead. However, our boys showed poise, resilience, and confidence as they drove all the way down the field to score the game winning touchdown with seconds remaining on the clock.  They never gave up.  Thank you to Coach Caldeira and his staff who are molding a positive group of young men and leaders at our school.  Please come out and support both teams when we open the regular KIF season against Kapaa HS on August 29th at Hanapepe Stadium.  The JV game starts at 5 pm and varsity follows at 7:30 pm. 

Here’s some excerpts from the staff bulletin for this week:
