A great week for Waimea HS students and athletics!

Hopefully you saw coverage of our awesome Waimea Aloha Garden dedication last Wednesday on either Hawaii News Now with WHS alumni, Keahi Tucker, or read about it on The Garden Island.  Kudos to our hard-working students, community partners, and Mr. Harding who made it all possible!  Here’s a link to the Garden Island article:


I know there’s much more to school than sports/athletics but you have to admit – we had a great week!  All of our teams did well, starting with air riflery on Wednesday, bowling on Thursday, and cross-country Saturday morning.  Friday night’s football win over Kauai HS at Hanapepe Stadium was a cause for celebration for all of us die-hard Menehune supporters and then the girls’ varsity VB hard-fought battle and win over Kauai HS on Saturday night was the perfect way to end the week for anyone who bleeds blue!  J

Important announcements:
·         Parents of seniors who missed the earlier mandatory parent meeting – you have a make up meeting with Mrs. G and myself this Wednesday night at 6:30 in the LRC. 
·         Students are taking pictures this Wednesday and Thursday in their Social Studies classes.  Your son/daughter should have come home with an envelope for ordering pictures; please check.
·         There’s still opening in the WAFF golf tournament this Saturday and there’s still a few tickets available for the evening dinner that starts at 5:30 pm on the front lawn.  This is a fundraiser for the WAFF scholarship fund and the WHS golf team; your donation directly helps our students and school.  For more information, please call me at school 338-6800.

Take care and have a great week everyone!

Mrs. Anguay J






Announcements:
1.        School pictures will be taken this Wednesday and Thursday during SS classes.  Here’s the original email from Mr. Toma:

It will take place September 9th (Wednesday) and 10th (Thursday) during all periods in Mr. Matsuyama's room, B10A. Students will go during their social studies classes. If you have any students who do NOT have a social studies class, please inform/remind them that they need to get their picture taken during advisory/study hall. MTV will make daily announcements also reminding students about when and where to go.

Non-social-studies teachers will also have an opportunity to take your picture during your prep period. Support staff will have pictures taken in groups (cafeteria workers, custodial staff, etc). Please make a conscious effort to take your picture as we would love to and want to include everyone in the yearbook!

2.        Mandatory Senior Parent Meeting – Make up for those who missed the earlier meeting will be held on Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the LRC.  Parents must attend if their son or daughter is planning to participate in Commencement Exercises (walk at Graduation) in May

3.        We are actively trying to track down families whose free or reduced lunch status may end by September 10th.  Ms. Asahi is calling in individual students/families to help them process their application ASAP.  Please help us help our students!

4.       KIF sports this week – air riflery on Wednesday, girls VB on Wednesday and Saturday, bowling on Thursday, football on Friday, cross country on Saturday.  Please come out and support our student athletes!
