The ENTIRE MPI community (alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends) can help by contributing in any of the following ways:<br /><u><b><br />DONATE TREATS FOR THE BAKED GOODS SALE</b><br /></u>All baked goods will be sold for $1. Please package your items accordingly. Please no perishable items.<br /><u><b><br />DONATE PRIZES FOR THE KEIKI GAMES AND DOOR PRIZES</b></u><br />We are in need of small prizes (the type that a child would win at a keiki carnival game). We could also use items that can be given away to the student body as door prizes (movie tickets, gift certificates, etc.). <br /><br /><u><b>VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME</b></u><br />Volunteers are needed on the day of the event to staff the different areas. We have three shifts: 8-11:15 a.m., <br />11 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and 4:15-7:30 p.m.<br /><br /><div align="center"><b><font style="font-size: 0.8em;"><i><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;">If you would like to assist in any way, please contact <br />Alumni Director Kerry Gudoy at alumni@midpac.edu or 951-8856.</font></i></font></b><br /></div><br />All proceeds will go to Student Activities!<br /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

         <title>MPI Student Programs</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Aloha MPI Alumni!<br /><br />One of the initiatives for the alumni this year is Student Programs. The objective is to involve alumni in ways that allow them to interact with and support current MPI students (from pre-school-12th grade). There are seven main ideas:<br /><br /><ol><li>Provide MPI faculty members the opportunity to invite MPI alumni to speak in their classrooms on topics of interest or in areas of expertise.</li><li>Provide mentoring to MPI students involved in competitions (such as a Science Fair).</li><li>Serve as judges for MPI competitions or presentations.</li><li>Be a presenter at a career day program.</li><li>Serve as a mentor for a student interested in a particular occupation.</li><li>Provide basic foreign language (Japanese, Chinese or Spanish) lessons (15 minutes in length) to the preschool/elementary school students.</li><li>Take the MPI school history "on the road" by meeting with students and sharing aspects of the school's past with them.<br /></li></ol><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
