Vice Principal’s Message
Dear Manana Families,
The school year is going by
quickly, and Thanksgiving is upon
us already. We are currently in
our second week of ParentTeacher conferences. Thank you
so much for taking the time from
your busy schedules to attend
these important meetings.
Our annual Community Clean
Up day on October 19 was
spectacular. We made our
already beautiful campus look
even more beautiful.
(continue on next page)
Office Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Just a Reminder…… Every Wednesday is Manana or College T­
shirt Day Manana Parent Bulletin #4 / Page 2 of 20
Vice Principal’s Message (continues)
In addition to cleaning the grounds, our volunteers re-painted
the parking lot and helped with our Aquaponics expansion. It
was a great success!
We passed our annual Fire Inspection on October 30
conducted by Captain Mahoe and the Firefighters from the
Pearl City station. We are blessed to have such diligent
teachers and Custodial staff who keep our students and
campus safe.
Thank you to the volunteer presenters who shared
wonderful information at Career Day on October 18. The
students were exposed to a variety of careers to help spark
that special interest.
Our annual Mass Evacuation is set for November 27. We
want to ensure our students and staff practice going to a
safe area so that in the event of a real threat, everyone is
able to move in a safe and timely manner. We will be walking
to the Manana Community Park.
The Hawaii State Assessment (HSA) for science has
begun for grade 4. There are a total of 3 attempts for the
students. However, this year for reading and math, the
Department of Education is transitioning to new standards
called Common Core State Standards (CCSS). In this
transition year, a “bridge” assessment will be given, using only
the items common to both HSA and CCSS assessments.
Students are allowed 2 attempts for this assessment.
Therefore, it is important that your children are well rested,
eat a healthy breakfast, and get to school on time.

Vice Principal’s Message (continues)
Please contact your child's teacher for more specific
information.
Finally, we understand how busy it can be with the
holiday season around the corner, so in this time of giving
thanks, please take the time and help your children
understand the many things to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Alika Ahu

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER:
Lunch loans are on the rise and we really need
your help. Please ensure that your child has enough
money in their account to cover not only their lunch,
but also an additional entree, extra milk and
breakfast if they purchase those items.
Check with your child regularly to see if they
have received a loan or low balance reminder. Our
policy is to allow students up to two (2) consecutive
loans.
To make it easy for you, we put the amount
necessary to cover one lunch and/or breakfast by
the number of school days in the month on the menu.
If your child does purchase additional items, you will
need to make the necessary adjustments.
Thank you for your help and cooperation!

November Tips on Health and
Wellness...
(By: Resources for Educators, a division of CCH Incorporated)
Let’s Read About Food!
Facing a food challenge with your child?
Reading a storybook can be a wonderful way
to open up a discussion and encourage your
child to eat nutritious foods --- just like the
characters in the book. Here are stories that
can help.
Picky eaters.
If your child balks at trying new foods, try
approaching the problem in a playful way with
the classic Dr. Seuss tale Green Eggs and Ham.
When Sam I Am finally tries green eggs and ham,
he finds out he likes them. Or try The Monster
Who Ate MY Peas (Danny Schnitzlein), where a boy
who hates peas makes a deal with a monster.
Too much junk food.
Let your child learn about the benefits of eating a balanced diet
along with Gregory the goat. In Gregory the
Terrible Eater (Mitchell Sharmat), the little goat
refuses to eat proper goat foods like shoes and
garbage. He prefers the fruits and vegetables
that his parents consider junk food. Or read
about a girl who will eat only cookies in
Cookie by Lisa Woomer.
