Family Fair: On Friday September 18, our school had a Family Fun Fair held from 4-7 pm. There
was food, games, prizes, and fun. Each grade level was responsible for running a game. We would
like to thank the firemen, the paramedics, and the policemen who came to volunteer their services
and equipment. The Family Fun Fair was a great way to spend time with friends, family and teachers.
Book Fair: On Friday, September 18 our school Fall Book Fair was held in the Library from 2-6 pm.
It gave the students a chance to buy books and get some stationery items. We thank the PTA for
coordinating the Family Fun Fair and to the Makalapa Leadership Team for the Book Fair.

scores for students in Grades 3-6 in Spring
2015 were shared. This is the first year that the
SBA was administered to Hawaii children. The
results of this new assessment show that a majority of our students need to improve their critical thinking, problem solving and gain a deeper
understanding of Language Arts and Math concepts. Teachers will focus on identifying and
providing appropriate instruction that meets the
needs of each child. Please provide a quiet
study time and area at home for students
