Thank you students for coming to the Spring Dance and making it one of the best ever! Because of the generosity of the middle school students, we were able to donate $398 to the Fly to Freedom Fund to aid victims of domestic violence. This money will perhaps enable two women and her children to escape a dangerous situation.
Mahalo! Mrs. Ann Kondo, MS Activities Coordinator

On February 6, the 8th grade Science classes were able to isolate their own DNA from their saliva. Dr. Donlon, Director of Genetics Research at Queen’s Hospital and father of Erica Donlon, was the guest for the day and helped with this activity. Students were able to use real hospital lab equipment and lab techniques to produce a visible sample of their DNA. This was quite a highlight to their Genetics unit.
