Ka Hale Kula ‘O Waimea
February 2013
Principal’s Message
Aloha Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members:
A big ‘Mahalo’ to all who continue to support our students’ learning and
activities!
Have you noticed that our picnic benches have been given a new coat of paint or
that there are now newly painted blocks for students to play on? Our PTSA
members were here on a Saturday to give our campus a fresh look. Mahalo to
Tim Atkins, manager from Home Depot who showed up with painting supplies
along with several Home Depot workers to help with the project!
Through the generosity of our community businesses, Waimea Canyon Middle
School’s Science Fair display was held at Waimea Plantation Cottages. Those
who were able to attend the event saw the students display their projects with
pride as they explained the ‘inquiry process’ used to lead to the conclusion.
Recognition goes to the science teachers who taught the process, parents,
families and support staff who assisted students with their display boards and to
the judges who interviewed the students on their projects. A special thank you
goes to both Waimea Plantation Cottages for the use of their facilities and to
Pioneer for hosting the event!
Our students took their Hawaii State Assessment reading in December and the H.S.A. math at the end of January. As a reminder, when the student meets proficiency, he/she will not need to participate in the second administration unless the parent/guardian writes a letter requesting participation. We appreciate your role in your child’s education. Remember to keep in contact with the school if you have any concerns or questions. Sincerely,
Glenda L.B. Miyazaki

WCMS SCIENCE FAIR RESULTS . Thank you to all the WCMS staff, parents, and community
members who came out to show their support for our Science
Fair this year! This event would not have been possible
without the tremendous support and sponsorship from Pioneer
and Waimea Plantation Cottages. In addition, many
businesses, organizations, and people made this a successful
Science Fair by helping with the setup, signing in and signing
out students, supervising students, monitoring the
refreshments, providing science/math activities for students,
and judging the students' projects. .
. This year, many students said that they would only participate
if the fair was held at the cottages. As a result, we had 108
projects and a lot of students who came out to support their
friends. The judges were very impressed by the quality of
projects, the skills displayed, and the demeanor of the students
when they were interviewed. Many expressed interest and
enthusiasm about being a judge next year. . The winners are....
