Congratulations to this year's Middle School Science Olympiad team. This year they had to compete in the Leeward Divisionals to move on to the State Finals held on March 6 at Leeward Community College. The MPI 8th graders won a total of 4 silver medals and 2 bronze medals in the 7 events they entered. The team members were Koko Hanson-Dobbs, Tommy Lam, Jordan Ota, Trace Sakima, Mei-Lin Sun and Lindsay Teruya.
Members from the Pacific Aviation Museum Barnstorming Tour visited our 6th Grade Science Classes last week. The 6th graders learned the scientific principles behind the flight of an airplane. They not only learned about Newton's Third Law of Motion and Bernoulli's Principle, but they also had the unique opportunity to be the first student's on this school tour to operate a brand new Flight Simulator as well as a Wind Tunnel. They discovered and experienced the challenges of flying a plane, while understanding how each part of a plane affects its flight. The 6th graders will be able to reflect and use this experience to assist them when they are once again exposed to "Flight Simulation" in Technology later this semester.

Linda Hamasaki '59 and her students from the Sogetsu Ikebana school visited MPI Wednesday, March 3, to teach sixth graders the art of Ikebana in celebration of Girl's Day!
The students had earlier created ceramic vases, which were then filled with beautiful arrangements of flowers.
