2010 Graduation Prep

From: Tom Campbell

All: Please see Mike Moses's and Kirk Uejio's notes below. I'll call Jim Miyashiro to pass this on. The seven of us who participated were noticed and our help appreciated! My personal thanks to each of you. Just after Jim and Miles left, I was in a discussion with Cheryl Wong, of 2011 Ohana fame, about what we have been doing since kindergarten (until I hit a 7-8-9th grade impasse! Xin loi!) with our counterparts....she took us over to meet some of our young friends who were still working: we all were introduced and had a chance to chit-chat a little. I later got a chance to get introduced to several parents who were still there working...good comments. All in all, the morning served its purpose: we got to do something with the 2011 students, which we can build on for next year, and we were seen by parents and students as being involved rather than just being some 2011 graduation-day hangers on! We can talk more about next year on Thursday, 10 June.

Again, thanks and aloha! Tom

Hey there Mikey! Do you think you could please forward my thanks to your '61 crew that came to help with graduation decorations? That was REALLY cool that they wanted to come and help. I was very impressed. The whole morning went very smoothly and we even finished earlier than in years past. It was probably all because of those wonderful '61ers! Thanks again for working with them, Mike, and for your support of this. It was really cool that they wanted to work side be side with parents, students, and staff members...awesome ONE TEAM kind of stuff!

Thanks again and Go Raiders!
