ALOHA FROM YOUR PCNC

I would like to thank all the parents, family members, students, community members, teachers, staff members and administration who have supported the many events held at Uka.  The spirit of ohana or family permeates throughout our school.  With the collaboration of all segments we are able to make the students feel safe and comfortable coming to this school and the parents know that their children are getting an excellent education.  I have been very fortunate to know that most families at Uka volunteer somewhere in our school.  This is not only families of students, this includes families of teachers and all other segments.  I know that all of the members on the SCBM and Hui boards are employed and have very busy lives so their commitment to the students at Uka is extraordinary.  It has been my privilege to work with so many talented and inspiring people for the past ten years.  Thanks for caring.

 

I would like to encourage you to apply for this most rewarding PCNC position.  Applications are due on Monday, June 6 and interviews will be scheduled for June 7, 8 and 9, 2005.  Believe me when I say that you can make a difference in your child’s school.  Bring your ideas and your skills to this exciting position.

 

Together we can make a difference at Uka.  Come out and volunteer, it makes you feel great!

 

HUI NOTES

The Hui would like to thank all parents/guardians and family members who have come out and supported the many events that were planned this year.  The success of all the projects couldn’t have been accomplished without everyone’s support. The manpower and the donations were greatly appreciated. See you next school year!

 

Thank you to all the teachers, parents, Uka Kumon employees and Mililani Ballroom dancers who came out to distribute the Spring Fund-raising products.  Almost 9000 products were given out on Wednesday. 

 

Next year we will continue with the Magazine drive, Entertainment Books, and Sally Foster fund-raisers.
