November 21, 2018

Dear Parents,

Thanksgiving Chapel

As is our tradi on, we welcomed the Thanksgiving holiday with a chapel service. Students from the Lower and Upper Schools read prayers in English and 

each language of our World Languages Department. A wonderful displace that our One Team embraces a global community.

LS Student‐ Peyton Willing ‘25

O God of all Crea on: On this occasion of Thanksgiving, we take rest from our work to consider your many blessings. You provide for our land, so ening 

it with rain showers, bathing it in light, and blessing it with growth.

(French) Cami Keahi ‘19

Notre Seigneur, bénis‐nous et ces dons que nous u lisons pour te servir. Aide‐nous à nous rappeler toujours des besoins de tous. Ainsi tout en ton

nom accepte notre prière. Amen

LS Student‐ Vincent Golden ‘25

We thank you for our freedoms, and for the opportunity to contribute the best of who we are toward the common good. We thank you for our 

community, our ‘Iolani ohana and the people of our islands.

(Japanese)‐ Kari Tanji ‘19

神様、これらの贈り物をしゅくふくして下さい。 私達は、正しくこれらを使い、神様におつかえいたします。他の⼈が困っている事に私達がいつも気付きますよう、おみちびき下さい。神様のみなのもとに、おいのりをささげます。アーメン。

LS Student‐ Katelyn Nishita ‘25

We pray you keep us always aware of our place in, our responsibility to, and the abundant blessings of our global community. Rich in cultures, languages 

and diversity, you have blessed us as one people. Help us to be a light unto the world together.

(Spanish) Olivia Fasi ‘20

Bendice, oh Señor, estos dones para nuestro uso y a nosotros para tu servicio, y mantennos siempre conscientes de las necesidades de los demás. Todo 

esto lo imploramos en tu nombre. Amén.

LS Student‐ Tria Boland ‘25

We remember those who struggle, those who are hungry, those who are suffering, those who are in need, whatever the need may be. Strengthen us to 

be your hands and feet and heart at work in the world.

(Hawaiian) ‐ Kalāʻula Chong ‘21

E ke Akua, e hoʻomaikaʻi mai i kēia mau hoʻokupu no ko mākou pono a no ka hana ʻana ma ka

Haku. E hoʻāla mai i ko mākou noʻonoʻo i nā mea e pono ai

ko mākou hoalauna. ʻO kā mākou pule kēia e hāpai aku nei ma kou inoa. ʻĀmene.

LS Student‐ Cameron Ching ‘25

We offer our prayers this morning for all those in our community who work for the relief and care of all who struggle, for Aloha Harvest and The 

Ins tute of Human Services, and all who offer compassion and aid.

(La n) ‐ Taryn Yogi ‘19

Benedic, O Domine, haec munera usui nostro et nos tuo officio, et nos serva semper memores necessitatum aliorum, haec omnia precamur in tuo 

nomine.

Let the word that goes forth from our mouths speak of your peace, and may our lives be an example of how love always stands supreme. We pray that 

you will bless all those who gather here.

我们赞颂祢赐予的平安,愿我们的⽣命成为崇⾼⽆上爱的典范,我们祈求祢祝福在此所有的⼈,引导我们, 赐予我们⼒量,赐予我们智慧,使我们的⽣命充满感激,因为我们不为⾃⼰祈求,也奉献我们的感恩和赞美。

Members of the School Rela ons Commi ee helped promote the Thanksgiving food drive for Aloha Harvest IHS.  They also helped to collect and 

organize canned goods, rice, pasta, and fresh foods donated by our school community. Mahalo to all who contributed. 

Mahalo to California Fire Fighters

We are all aware of the tragic wildfires in California. Students gathered to sign a Mahalo‐Banner this week that we are sending to first responders in 

California.  

First Grade Field Trip to Hawaii Nature Center

Our first‐grade classes embarked on an educa onal excursion to the Hawaii Nature Center in Makiki Valley.  During their visit, the students explored

Their inves ga ons involved crea ng a food chain, searching for grasshoppers, and fishing in the stream.  It was a wonderful day for the students within 

the most authen c classroom we have – outdoors in nature.

Fourth Graders Visit Manoa Stream

On November 14, the Class of 2027 conducted a stream biodiversity survey at Manoa District Park. Their efforts contributed to an ongoing Ci zen 

Science project to monitor aqua c na ve and invasive species in our Manoa, Palolo, and Makiki watersheds. Students removed over 100 invasive stream 

animals from the area.

Fourth graders also worked in teams to assess the health of the stream habitats they explored as an outdoor extension of their classroom lessons on 

na ve 'o'opu and the effect of human ac ons on the environment.

On Friday, November 16, the Class of 2026 presented “The Hero Within You.” The cast of characters included the naughty children of superheroes like 

Li le Hulk, Wonder Girl and Spider Girl who had yet learned how to use their powers to do good in the world.  Their teacher, Mary Poppins, helped 

them learn the lessons of coopera on, persistence and courage.

The group stepped back in  me to learn how leaders like Lewis and Clark, a pesky fly, Ruby Bridges and Jackie Robinson were heroes who used their 

minds and hearts to make a posi ve difference in the world.  Sixty‐Six fi h graders dazzled the audience with their ac ng, singing and dancing. Many 

hands contributed as One Team to put on the produc on and make such a wonderful and memorable experience for the students. Mahalo to those 

involved.   

Intermediate Speech Team

The Iolani Intermediate Speech Team won both major awards at the Maryknoll Speech Tournament on Saturday, November 17. Fielding a team of over 

forty sixth through eighth graders, they earned the trophies for both greatest number of superior ra ngs (87) and greatest percentage of superior 

ra ngs (74 percent). Faculty and staff coaches Debra Otsu, Lisa‐Anne Tsuruda, Theresa Falk and Lei Fortuno do a wonderful job leading the team and we 

are grateful to them for their commitment to our forensics program.

Apiary Club

Last year 'Iolani's Apiary Club worked with Dr. Jason Graham to preserve the habitat of Hawai'i's endangered yellow‐faced bee.  Students made signage 

and fence posts in the Sullivan Center’s fabrica on lab. Recently, we received this le er from the Dept. of Land and Natural Resources ‐ Division of 

Forestry & Wildlife, Na ve Ecosystem Protec on and Management.

"As you know, symbolic post and rope fencing was installed at Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline in June 2017, with the goal of reducing public impacts on 

remaining yellow‐face bee host plants and nest resources. The symbolic fencing is not con nuous, but targets areas of high traffic to guide area users 

away from cu ng paths through important na ve coastal vegeta on. Monitoring and maintenance of the fencing began in July 2017 and has con nued 

through the present.

The installa on of the symbolic fencing has allowed na ve coastal plants to regrow, which increases intact habitat for the yellow‐faced bees and has also 

provided protec on to otherwise unmarked cultural sites in the area. Staff have monitored the public’s response to the new fencing and adjusted

addi onal management and planning accordingly. Inten onal vandalism and accidental disturbance of the new fencing was observed frequently for the 

first 6 months. Therea er, vandalism decreased, and we are happy to report that no vandalism was observed from December 2017 through the present.

Our staff worked over the last two weeks to install the remaining posts that your students prepared. We removed symbolic fencing from select areas at 

Kaiwi where it was no longer needed, and repurposed those posts into other areas which could benefit from reduced traffic. While the goal is certainly 

to protect popula ons of this remarkable na ve bee, DLNR remains commi ed to maintaining access to the area for all users."

Visit to the 100th Ba alion Clubhouse

Juniors and seniors in the War in the 20th Century classes visited the 100th Ba alion Clubhouse to hear Gary Hayakawa tell the story of how local boys 

made history in World War II for their heroism and sacrifice while facing discrimina on at home and in service to their country.  They spent class  me on 

Friday listening and viewing the displays in the clubhouse.

A visit from Governor Ariyoshi

On Tuesday, Asian American Experience students met with Governor George Ariyoshi, Hawaii’s third governor and the first Asian‐American to be elected 

Governor of a U.S. State or Territory. He spoke on his life and poli cal career, then answered ques ons from the students. Topics included homelessness, 

monster houses, and the high cost of housing in Hawai'i.

Na onal Signing Day

On Wednesday, November 14, twelve senior athletes signed na onal le ers of intent. Nine students signed with their family, friends and coaches in the 

Sullivan Center, while three par cipated in the public event at the Hawaii Conven on Center. Here is the list of these `Iolani signees who will play at the 

NCAA level.
