PTSA Awards Night

Congratulations to everyone who received an award this past Thursday at the PTSA Awards Night!  Each team nominated their brightest, most-inspiring students in one of several categories.  Some of the categories included: Team Leadership, Academic Persistence and Most Improved. It awesome to see around several hundred supportive families in the audience cheering on their students.  We even had Hawaii State Senators, Representatives, and City Council Members take time off their busy schedules to come and recognize our latest achievement of becoming a 2015 National Gold Council of Excellence!  Wow! What a great way to start winding down the year by individually recognizing students for their hard-work, growth and perseverance!  (:  Peyten, SG Treasurer
