Here’s the News for THIS WEEK:

Last week of school! Yeah!

FITNESS FUN DAY PLEDGES ARE DUE!

Special thanks to the parents and students that worked so hard to get pledge money turned in. It’s truly appreciated! We’ve already received over $3,000! So far, only 69 out of 302 students have brought in their pledges to help fund programs and supplies for the next school year. We’d like to reach our goal of $5,000 to help meet some of these needs. We will determine which classes and students are the winners by Tuesday afternoon, so you still have time to get your pledge money in.We will be accepting pledge money for the rest of the week.

LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE, TOO! Please get in ALL Kilauea School Library books so you won’t have to pay fees for replacing them. It helps our library staff to complete inventory process, too!  Mahalo!

Announcements

Looking for things for your kids to do this summer?

One year, I gathered a group of people together that had programs available for kids during the summer and invited parents to come and get the info and talk to the people directly…As often happens, very few people came and for the amount of work it took to coordinate that, it was very discouraging… There is also a DOE policy that prevents us from posting up programs and events that HAVE A FEE if the money is not directly going to the students.

But as a parent, I know we need a way to get this info passed around…so if any of you know of things happening and programs that I could share with other interested parents…please email them to me and I can forward it to the rest of you….

I know already that there is a Father’s Day fishing Tournament on Sunday, June 16th (10:30-12:30) Call Tiffany @ 651-5103 or email her at bjatiff@aol.com

And there is a Summer Junior Tennis Camp at HBR…Call 821-8225 for more info or email hbrtennis@gmail.com

Thanks so much to Kehau Tegen for her efforts in recycling/redeeming the HI-5s at the school! We are grateful for the parents that have stepped up to coordinate this program. Please keep those HI-5 plastic bottles and cans coming in on Tuesday mornings and at the end of the school day. If nobody is there when you come at that time, please leave the recyclables on the pallet outside the door on the east side of the old cafeteria.

We’ve had some problems with bags being dropped by the recycle bins and a big box brought. As a reminder, please make sure that:

  • HI5 recyclables are brought in on TUESDAYS ONLY!
  • They have been rinsed out and caps removed-LABELS MUST BE ON THEM
  • They are properly sorted-plastics in one bag and cans in another
  • THERE IS NO FOOD OR TRASH IN THE BAGS WITH THE RECYCLABLES
  • and another way you to recycle….KIUC just delivered 1,008 compact florescent bulbs to the school for us to pass out. Please bring your non-CFL bulbs to the PCNC/PSAP Room-A4 and trade them in for the CFLs. energy-wise!  Some of our classes are participating in an island wide competition to trade in the most bulbs!  Please tell your island family and friends about this free opportunity to be energy-wise!

MAHALO for your continued support!
