One way in which I keep the community informed about current happenings is via my Twitter account. Follow me today @HIDOE808_DrK and join me in sharing the great stories of success at our schools and state.
School Visits
My school visits last week with CAS Rodney Luke provided a great opportunity for me to see our vision in action. Pearl City High and Waipahu High are both using wall-to-wall academies as their School Design, providing opportunities for students in aquaponics, culinary arts, business, and health industries, among others. At Waiau Elementary I learned about their approach to Student Voice as they shared their recently published student-created story book in the Hawaiian language. Let's get the word out about the great work happening in our public school system!
My next school visits are with CAS Donna Lum Kagawa to Farrington High and to the Hawaii School for the Deaf and the Blind. What Was the Buzz Over the Weekend?
At the annual Mele & Hula at Lanikuhonua at the Ko Olina Resort in Kapolei, CAS Ann Mahi and CAS Heidi Armstrong along with 10 of their school principals received a donation for their schools of $250,000 by the James and Abigail Campbell Family Foundation. (View tweet from the event.) This is a wonderful demonstration of community support for our great public schools. Mahalo for your generosity and partnership! I am very proud of our Campbell High School Culinary Arts students who provided the dinner at the VIP tent — great job!
