The 'Ohana
Parents are an integral part of the school community The elementary school parent group, a part of the MPI Parent Teacher Organization, is aptly named 'Ohana--their support and participation in the life of the school creates the pervasive feeling of family. The 'Ohana provide generous financial support, time, and talent to support school activities such as Parents-as-Partners (a series of workshops that inform parents about the curriculum, teaching practices, and social welfare of children), the annual school auction, and the annual gifting campaign. The 'Ohana consists of parent representatives from each grade level.
