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.
