Working the 'aina during Mokauea trip

This fall, 16 members of Code Earth, along with Advisor Jacquelyn Chappel, visited Mokauea Island, a sustainable fishing village located off Sand Island. Inhabi-tants of Mokauea have lived there since the 1970's, sustained mainly by the fishpond on the island, which is fed by the ocean.

Students paddled out to the island, learned about the history of the island and helped to pull out pickleweed, an invasive weed proliferating the island.

It's Academic Hawai'i

Lurline Choy is the advisor for a new program called "It's Academic Hawai'i," a quiz show with several high schools participating, including Castle, Nanakuli, Hanalani, McKinley, Waiakea, Iolani, Radford, Kaiser, Punahou, Island Pacific and the Academy.

The Academy's team includes (left) Zoe Sprott, Brigid Nunen and Jiaxin Lin, and their first taping was Saturday, January 7.

The competitions air on Channel 5 at 7 p.m., and the exact air date of the Academy team's appearance is forthcoming.

Lt. Governor makes surprise visit

In December, the third graders in Melody Coloma's class were treated with a visit from Hawai'i Lt. Governor Brian Schatz as their "Mystery Reader!"

Lt. Governor Schatz read the book "Good Citizen Sarah" by Virginia Kroll and did a role-playing lesson to teach the students how laws are made.

He shared how everyone, even as young as third graders, can have a voice in their community and make a difference.

Parent discusses "A Real Cool Summer"

Author, publisher and Academy parent Martha Rodriguez visited the Lower School Library in mid-January to read her book "A Reel Cool Summer" with students in grades Senior Kindergarten to two.

The students learned valuable lessons about cooperation, determination, and using their imagination.

They learned how sometimes real-life can be inspiration for writing stories.

The students are excitedly anticipating applying what they learned from Rodriguez and also from illustrator Kathy Bishop, who visited last semester, as they begin writing and publishing their own books in library class next week!

Rodriguez' daughter Jacqueline is a senior at the Academy and is also an actual character in the book!

Sophomores Serve at Shriners'
This year's Sophomore Week theme was "YouTube," with the emphasis on "you." The students enjoyed an eventful week of sisterhood and music and walked away from the week with special memories.

As part of Sophomore Spirit Week, the members of the class collected gently used CD's for the patients at Shriners' Children Hospital, a pediatric orthopedic hospital serving Hawaii and the Asia/Pacific Region.
Students visited the hospital on Punahou Street on January 11 and met with a group of six Fijian children, all in wheelchairs or on crutches.
