                             Winners' Camp 2012 - Parent Info Night
                      Wednesday, 5/9 6:00 PM at KIS

Please plan to attend a special parent information event on Wednesday, 5/9 at 6:00 PM in the  KIS library to learn more about the upcoming Summer 2012 Winners' Camp. Camp is scheduled from Tuesday, June 19 to Saturday, June 23. Winners' Camp director, Delorese Gregoire will be there to share more details about the camp and answer any questions you might have.
For more information about the camp please visit their site at winnerscamp.com

Funding for the camp was provided by a grant from the Joint Venture Education Forum (JVEF), Student Resiliency and Leadership Development Strat Group.

The 5-day camp is free to students that will be attending Kailua Intermediate School next school year (SY12-13). This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for your child to participate in team building activities that will help them throughout life.

Last summer, 84 students from Lanikai, Aikahi, Mokapu, Kainalu, Kailua El., and Kailua Intermediate attended the camp. The feedback from parents, students, and principals from last summer was overwhelmingly positive. Sixth grade teachers have already sent the application forms home.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to apply this year!
