A busy week ahead, reflections from last Thursday....

Every week is going to be a super busy one from now until the end of the school year!

·         On Monday, the final Performance Based Assessments and presentations for students seeking the first-ever CTE recognition diploma being offered by the Department of Education will be done by Mr. Souza’s classes.  Students will be presenting their research and personal reflections about their learning before a panel of judges from the community. 
·         On Monday, the JROTC cadets/program will be visited by Battalion personnel from the mainland and Oahu; our health and biology classes will hear a special presentation from FBI agents from Oahu about some new ‘designer’ drugs that young people/students are getting involved with
·         Tuesday – JROTC and health students will be participating in the mass casualty triage drill at the airport
·         Wednesday evening is the Year End Student Recognition event starting at 5:30 pm in the gym
·         Friday – Senior Luau takes place on the front lawn.  If you’re interested in purchasing tickets, please contact Mrs. Davalos

It was a great honor to be awarded the Masayuki Tokioka Award last Thursday night; it’s recognition of the hard work that our entire team of teachers and staff have put in over the years to ensure that Waimea students are on track to be college, career, and community ready when they leave us.  The money is cool too!!  We’ll use it to run our Summer Bridge program for incoming 9th graders again (free!!) and coordinate with KCC for other Early College credit options for our students here on campus.  I’d like to share my favorite picture from that evening…. It’s with two of my grandchildren, Hunter and Hailey.  They’re being there to celebrate the award was the highlight of the night for me.



Earlier that same day, my husband and I attended the Governor’s Review & Awards Ceremony to celebrate JROTC’s 100th anniversary in Hawaii.  Our own cadet Battalion Commander, Devon Hartsell, received special recognition that day… I was so proud of him!




Have a great week everyone.
