I wanted to
share a link to Kauai Shining Stars, a monthly video show hosted by Sean Doi
from the Kauai District Office. Seven
minutes into this month’s episode is an interview with two of our students,
Hope Coyaso and Julia Hirano, who won first place in last spring’s Student
Television Network Competition in San Diego.
Their video follows the interview.
Our digital media program is incredible and Ms. Evens works hard to
create opportunities for students to extend their learning beyond the classroom
walls, putting them out in the community to practice their craft. You see them streaming our KIF games and
other events around Kauai, like the Waimea Town Celebration.
I’m also
attaching a link to a story about our VidRoc students that’s posted on
KHON2. These students are in a Directed
Studies math class and started working on their rockets over the summer on
their own time with teacher Jerry Nishihira.
Their goal is to not only launch their rocket(s) successfully, but to
figure out how they will transmit the real-time video of the launch, from the
actual rocket. They’ve launched a couple
of times and have learned and recalibrated their rocket/design after each experience. Engineers from PMRF have been helping to
support the students and Mr. Nishihira.
Also, the
official results for last spring’s Smarter Balanced Assessments were released
this past week. Our students and
teachers have been working very hard and the results are promising. Please check out our Facebook page, The Waimea
High School, for more details.
Finally, please
continue to come out to support and encourage our student athletes as they
compete this week in air riflery, bowling, cross-country (Thursday 4:30 pm on
campus and on Saturday), and girls’ VB; the football team takes on Kauai HS
again on Saturday Sept. 26th at Hanapepe Stadium, afternoon game.
Take care
and have a great week everyone!
