Aloha Sis and D...
Aloha Sis & Fav. Brother!
Just checking in...
Busy day today, busy weekend. Dorian has Prom this weekend so I have a housefull of girls spending the night tonight so they will be close to the hotel to go decorate in the morning. Housefull again tomorrow night after Prom! So much fun! I promised them a scrumptious breakfast Sunday morning, evidently my French Toast casserole was a real winner the last time we had a major sleepover...it was the requested item.
I am entertaining Dorian's friend (yes, she has a friend!!!) Jana's family tonight for dinner. Thought it would be fun to have a 'grown-up' night in the teenager mix this weekend!
Mom & Ray return home from Japan on Monday morning. Hopefully I'll have their house back in order by then! I encouraged them to stay longer since we were having a PARTY two nights in a row!!!
We met with Dorian's Principal yesterday to review her progress with her current studies and SAT preparation as well as working out a schedule for completing her make-up work from third quarter. We were trying to figure out what she could do to complete her community service hours, her Principal made a phone call and got Dorian into this cool program as a 'counselor' for a multi-cultural summer school program. She will be doing the first session which focuses on Africa and Japan. Here is the article from today's Paper...
Kula summer school planned
By The Garden Island Posted: Thursday, May 18, 2006 - 10:06:59 pm HST
A Multicultural Summer School in Kilauea will feature four weeks of world culture immersion into the cultures of Africa, Japan, Russia, and New Zealand.The summer school is scheduled for June 19 through July 14 and will be open to children ages 5 to 9.
The social studies and arts curriculum will be taught through art, song, storytelling, ethnic food, dance, games, music, geography, and language. The school will be on Kula Elementary's campus in Kilauea near Mango Mama s Juice Bar.There will be two, two-week sessions. Session I, Africa/Japan runs June 19 through June 30. Session II, Russia/New Zealand runs July 3 through July 14. Hours classes will be in session are from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Snacks for the students will be provided daily.Tuition is $400 for Session I and $375 for Session II. Some need-based financial scholarships are available.
Every Thursday will feature an ethnic feast where students will prepare traditional ethnic foods and play native games. Every Friday is a water playdate with Slip-n-Slides, sprinklers, and a wading pool on campus. The school offers a nice balance between academic and hands-on learning as well as a summer camp atmosphere.Megan Bybee will be teaching the sessions. She is a teacher at Kanuikapono with camp counseling experience. She will be assisted by Ryan McGill.This will be the second Multicultural Summer School program that was founded by director Joyce Kehoe.
There are plans to have several local artists and musicians brought in as specialty teachers throughout the program.Peoples of the different cultures included in the program Africa, Japan, Russia, and New Zealand are invited to call 828-1324 if they are interested in participating in the the summer school. The school is looking for a few people who would like to speak about their culture or contribute through art, dance, music, or song.
Dorian is really excited to have the oportunity. It's perfect for her, she loves working with the little kids! I'm thinking it totally ranks above picking up trash along the highway or something! Dorian is going to be very busy girl between now and when she leaves for Ohio July 3. Looks as though they are going to offer her an AP Spanish course next year at Kula since she is so much farther ahead than most of her class. She certainly has a knack for foreign language. Maybe Japanese will be her next area of foreign language studies!!??
I think I've filled up enough space for one day. Gave you lots of reading material (in case you've already read the daily paper, the back of the cereal box, etc...) to keep you occupied for few minutes!
As always, all our love to you. You are always close by in my thoughts and prayers each and every day.
