Aloha Parents and Students,
As the school year flies right by, we have been encouraging students to continue their journey to live a life full of “Purposeful Acts.” We began our new program last school year, with classmates recognizing classmates for their outstanding behaviors around campus and lives were touched amongst our students. The “Formative Five” Character traits were embraced with more effort (Empathy, Integrity, Self-Control, Embracing Diversity, Grit, plus our newest addition Aloha) and the “Purposeful Acts” program made a difference in recognizing students for their special efforts with a simple “I Noticed” slip of paper.
Teachers have been very creative, embracing the concept of the “Formative Five.” From literary readings and writings, to post it note formative five walls and graphs! Students have been taking to heart our “Formative Five” character traits and displaying Momilani’s behavioral expectations in and out of the classroom. Also, “Purposeful Acts” were embraced with more doing...for each other.
We encourage all students to live with purpose and to share kind gestures, good deeds, encouraging words, and other simple acts of kindness. This year, we would like to step it up a bit by initiating a more specific “Purposeful Acts” program and rename it…”Ripples of Kindness.”
