Celebrate Success!  SATURDAY, 8/28  5-9 PM


Please join us on Saturday, August 28th from 5-9 PM here on campus to celebrate several noteworthy successes. The first achievement to celebrate is our three-year WASC Accreditation.  We will also be celebrating the debut our new school logo, successful HSA test scores, our continued military partnerships, as well as our fantastic students and their families.

We'll have music provided by Saloon Pilots, a local bluegrass band, and Pu'uloa, who performed at May Day last year. Fire Dancing and other children's entertainment will round out the evening.  Food will be available for purchase from Bob's Pizza and Aloha Salads.

Bring your postcard invite (arriving soon in your child's backpack) to the T-shirt booth to receive ONE free T-shirt per student with our NEW LOGO. Additional T-shirts will be available for purchase. Your postcard will also be used as a ticket for many exciting door prizes that will be given away during the evening festivities. You must be present to win!

So, grab your chairs or a blanket and come on down to our beautiful campus to enjoy an evening with your family and school community. Invite your neighbors to join you; we'd love to showcase our school.
