<p>The 6th GRADE GREET AND MEET which was held on Friday, Nov. 9 was a great success! The event, sponsored by the PCA, was an opportunity for 6th grade families to meet and socialize. There was plenty of delicious food and fun games to occupy our children’s energy!

         <title>Message from the PCA President:</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>It’s been an exciting couple of months for the Parent Community Association (PCA).  First you may have noticed that our name changed.  We’re no longer called the Parent Teacher Association (PTO); we’re the PCA.  This came about with the adoption of our revised by-laws at our September meeting.  With this adoption, the Elementary, Middle and High School parents are now united under one organization.  A copy of the new by-laws and the past minutes are now posted on Edline.  All previous information that was post on this site was moved to Edline.</p>

<p>I would also like to acknowledge all the parents for attending the PCA meeting.  We have many new parents wanting and willing to help.  Having said this, the following parents have agreed to serve as PCA Board member:</p>

<p><strong>High School Representative:</strong><br />
Janie Bryan</p>

<p><strong>Middle School Representatives:</strong><br />
Cris Ancog – lead<br />
Jeannette Uemura <br />
Wilfred Tochiki<br />
Melissa Mancao-Young</p>

<p><strong>Pre-K / Elementary School Representatives:</strong><br />
Kim Soares <br />
Charles Barclay</p>

<p><strong>Committees:</strong><br />
Information Activities Committee – David / Sonia Franzel<br />
Communication Committee – Janie Bryan / Elsie Kawahara<br />
Parental Support Committee – Stephanie Sato<br />
Student / Teacher Recognition Committee – Dee Dee Tomihama / Stephanie Sato<br />
Fundraising – Gina Overton / Marybeth Fentriss</p>

<p><strong>Upcoming activities or events:</strong><br />
Gift Cards – orders due Nov 13<br />
Speaker – Chris Duque on Tuesday, Nov 20, at 5:30 p.m. in Bakken Hall</p>

<p><em>A hui hou!</em></p>
