Stand tall, be proud, Thy sons and daughters, Children born to build a better life, We have come to thee, o Hoʻokena, Lead us with thy guiding light E nānā ʻi loko ʻou, nō ka ikaika, E ʻimi i nā pahukū a me nā ʻuhane, Hiki no ʻoe e hilinaʻi nā mea ʻokoʻa, Hoʻoʻilina i ka waiwai oʻilina TRANSLATION: Look into yourself for the strength To achieve your goals and dreams You can make a difference You have inherited a rich inheritance

Waiwai ʻOʻilina, which is translated as “Rich Inheritance”, was written by Jewett Spencer, a longtime member of the faculty at Hoʻokena Elementary School. Written in both English and ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, it currently serves as the first and only alma mater. This mele encourages students to look within themselves for the strength to achieve their goals and dreams, and that by doing so, they can make a difference. The song invokes a spirit of courage and determination in students, staff, alumni and all those associated with the school. The mele was adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2012 to act as a symbol of the united work of the entire organization.

Since its founding in 1931, Hoʻokena Elementary School has
been the model of educational excellence in the State of Hawaiʻi.
Nestled on the southwestern slopes of Mauna Loa; the eighty-one
year old campus has opened its doors to thousands of students
from our local community, and ignited in them a passion to learn
and to succeed. And, yet, after such a long history, the school has
not lost its ability to develop and equip the future leaders and
society-builders of Hawaiʻi and the world.
With Joyce K. Crisafi at the helm, as administrator, the faculty
and staff continue to strive to enable our students to realize their
own innate potential and to utilize their limitless ability to achieve
all of their dreams and goals.
Hoʻokena has a learning environment that attempts to create more
than just a future workforce. The mission and philosophy of
Hoʻokena School is to develop strong individuals who will make
a difference in their respective communities and effectively
change society.
In order to achieve this mission and philosophy, the school needs
the participation of parents, former students and community
members. The Hoʻokena Elementary School PTO continues to act
as both a financial resource and as the school’s social network and
advocate in the community.
Reestablished in 2009 and incorporated in 2011, the organization
has had a long history in the school spanning several decades.
Because of the support and hard work of its members and
community partners, the organization has been able to raise nearly
$50,000 for technology, curricular resources, extracurricular
activities, infrastructure, and more.
The organization, governed by a five-member Board of Directors,
is committed to continuing this work to support the school.
VISION STATEMENT
All students enrolled in our school will
meet academic standards; make
responsible choices; and, be prepared
for middle school, high school, college
and other post-secondary education.
MISSION STATEMENT
To achieve this vision, Hoʻokena will
provide standards-based academic
education in a nurturing environment;
use educational technology to support
learning; broaden horizons through
community involvement and service
learning; and, require parent
involvement in education of children.

OUR MISSION
The mission of the Hoʻokena Elementary School
PTO, Incorporated, is to support the students of
Hoʻokena Elementary School by providing
educational and personal enrichment, and by
encouraging the cooperative interaction of
parents, teachers and the community.
PTO OBJECTIVES
The PTO shall provide financial support to the
school through organized fundraisers, events and
campaigns, thus enabling the school to provide
needed programs, supplies, resources and
technology to enhance curricular and
extracurricular activities for students.
The PTO shall be a social resource by
establishing a network of students, parents,
administration, faculty, staff and community
where ideas, expectations, accomplishments and
needs may be communicated through an open
forum.
STRATEGIC GOALS
The Hoʻokena Elementary School PTO will better
represent the interests of the school and community
by serving as its main social advocate by:
1) Continuing to bring parents and community
members together with the faculty and staff of
the school to work together in finding
solutions to the many challenges we face;
2) Working with governmental and non-
governmental agencies and organizations who
will support our organization financially and
socially in order to carry out our mission and
objectives;
3) Better informing parents and community
members of current organizational and school
initiatives by increasing and improving
communication through printed and electronic
means;
4) Increasing parental involvement at PTO
meetings by changing the format and style of
such meetings;
5) Increasing parent volunteerism by better
articulating the benefits of such involvement
for the parents and for their students.
6) Creating a better, more efficient organization
with greater accountability that members
would be willing to oversee as future elected
members of the Board of Directors.

The Hoʻokena Elementary School PTO has adopted a
new logo that centers on a theme of organizational unity.
It also focuses on the culture and traditions of the
Hawaiian people, by bringing in unique Hawaiian
elements and symbols.
KALO: To the Hawaiian people, kalo or taro is treasured
because of its spiritual, as well as nutritional, value. Kalo
is believed to be the first Hawaiian, who was stillborn.
Buried, he became the taro and has continued to feed and
nourish the people of these islands. Kalo can also be used
to represent the relationship between a parent and a child,
or a teacher and a student. If the main taro is not healthy
or spiritually corrupted, so too will the offspring (ohā).
With the mindset that our organization is the main taro, if
we work together and do our best to fulfill our mission
and objectives, we will produce good results and our
children will benefit.
KAHIKOLU: The Trinitarian triangle (three-joined
triangles) is a special symbol of the Hawaiian people. It
represents the unity of akua (which can mean God, or
more traditionally, the united functions of the universe),
kane (man, represented by the god of war Kūkaʻilimoku),
and wahine (woman, represented by the goddess of the
moon Hina). According to legend, Kūkaʻilimoku was the
only god who chose to live as a man. According to
societal norms, a man’s greatest responsibility is to care
for his family. In legend, during a drought, Kūkaʻilimoku
sacrificed his human life by becoming the ʻulu, or
breadfruit tree, to feed his family. In so, he is used to
represent man. Hina was born a woman on the island of
Molokaʻi. According to Hawaiian tradition, she is
described as the perfect woman – externally and
internally beautiful, intelligent and determined. Often
chased by men, she soon becomes tired of the attention,
and flees to the moon where she becomes its goddess.
MANAʻOʻIʻO, MANAʻOLANA, ALOHA: This
saying is attributed to 1 Corinthians 13:13 where
it says “In faith, hope and love abide, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.” Of course, this
saying has spiritually and culturally guided the
people of Hawaiʻi. Hawaiians are a people of faith
(manaʻoʻiʻo), who share hope (manaʻolana), and
who embrace all people in love (aloha).
1931 and 2011: 1931 is the year that the current
campus of Hoʻokena Elementary School was
officially established, according to records held
by the Department of Education. However, the
name “Hoʻokena School” is much older and dates
back to an unknown date. 2011 is the year out
organization was incorporated by the State of
Hawaiʻi. However, our organization has a history
that extends back several decades.
KŪKULU I NĀ ALIʻI: This is the new motto of
the organization, which means, “Building up the
aliʻi.” This motto truly represents the mission of
our organization which is to develop and equip
the students of our beloved school – the home of
the aliʻi.

Aloha pumehana e nā ʻohana o Hoʻokena.
Pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (1) of the Articles
and Bylaws (Ed. 2011) and Section 3, Rule 8
of the Administrative Rules, it is my great
honor and privilege to submit the PTO’s
Annual Report for the fiscal year 2011-12.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would
like to extend our sincere appreciation and
gratitude to all of the wonderful people who
have made this year a success. This includes
the many parents, faculty, staff, students and
community members who have given so much
of their time, resources and effort to support
the organization’s initiatives throughout the
year. Mahalo to you all!
Regarding our financial mission, we’ve done
extremely well. This year alone, we raised
$16,962 for technology, curricular and
extracurricular programs and activities,
infrastructure and more. This surpasses our
revenue intake from the fiscal year 2010-11 by
15%. This is a great accomplishment for the
organization. These funds were raised through
private donations and through our two annual
events – Golf Tournament and May Day
Ho‘olaule‘a.
Since August 2011, several organizational
developments have occurred by action of the
Board of Directors, including:
reinstating the organization’s tax-exempt status pursuant
to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
through Parent Booster USA (our legal representatives);
creating a new non-profit corporation with the State of
Hawai‘i called the Ho‘okena Elementary School PTO;
and, approving a revision of the Articles and Bylaws;
Over the next two years, there will be significant changes. With
the PTO no longer in charge of organizing the Golf Tournament,
and Hoʻolauleʻa in question, I am expecting our revenue numbers
to drop significantly. However, our mission is not solely financial,
and we’ve already begun moving the organization in a new
direction.
At the beginning of my first year as President and Chief Executive
Officer, the PTO needed to improve as a social network between
the home and the school, and, as the school’s social advocate in
the community. In fact, the PTO, at that time, didn’t even have a
standardized email where parents could contact the organization.
Since then, the Board of Directors has been working diligently to
finally bring the PTO into the twenty-first century, by creating
social outreach through its own website, Facebook, Twitter,
Google-plus, and more. And, in February, the PTO launched
Mālamalama, a bi-monthly newsletter. And, in May, the
organization began collecting online donations through a program
called We Pay.
All these efforts were done in order to connect parents to the
school on a greater level, by making the organization more
accessible. Of course, in this regard, there is much more to do.
Whatever the organization looks like in the future, the mission will
still be the same: supporting the education of students at
Ho‘okena Elementary School. And, the PTO will do whatever
necessary to carry out such a noble mission. Mahalo for your
support. We look forward to working with you in the years to
come.

Our organization and our school are no strangers to challenges. In
2009, the state of education in Hawaii was horrendous, as schools
throughout the state faced major budget cuts and the furloughing of
public employees including teachers, aides, administrators,
custodians, etc. The infamous “Furlough Fridays” was a major
challenge as students were forced to stay home from school because
teachers were not allowed to go to work – cutting in to educational
time.
Hoʻokena Elementary School, like many other schools, had to face
those challenges – and during that time, the Parent-Teacher
Organization stood up like never before to bring the community
together and support our school. However, it was during this time
that the school realized one of its greatest accomplishments. In the
year following, Hoʻokena was named one of fifteen distinguished
schools in the State of Hawaii – the only school from the island of
Hawaii. That year, Hoʻokena ranked as the #1 public elementary
schools on the island, despite years of attacks from outsiders who at
one time stated that “students from Hoʻokena could not succeed.”
In SY2011-12, the state of education has only slightly improved and
remains in disrepair; with the Department of Education in dire need
of restructuring. The lack of funding affects our local schools with
our school forced to cut what the organization considers “essential”
services and employees in upcoming fiscal years. This past year, the
organization supported the school in paying for needed technology,
programs, activities, in order for the school to avoid making cuts to
positions that otherwise would have been terminated.
Because of economic challenges, the number of direct financial
contributions fell drastically. With this decline in revenue, we also
needed to maintain fiscal prudence which at the same time supporting
the school’s many educational and our own operational needs. And,
yet, with a budget of only $5,000, and many challenges, this fiscal
year was our highest-grossing year ever in our organization’s history.
Still though, many changes needed to be made, including the way we
do business. These changes are outlined in our fiscal vision and
strategic plan.

Because of the challenges we faced as an organization in the past
fiscal year, the new Board of Directors set three different goals – each
one meant to help the organization overcome a specific hurdle it
faced. The Board of Directors understood that if it were to meet these
goals, they needed to be extremely realistic. If the organization didn’t
meet them by the end of the year, it would be impossible for the
organization to focus on other challenges that needed to be addressed
in the upcoming fiscal year.
GOAL #1: Resolve the organization’s issues pertaining to tax-
exemption from the IRS and create a new corporate system that
allowed greater efficiency to ensure that no such challenges could
resurface in the future. At this time, the IRS has revoked the
organization’s tax-exempt status due to the unintended negligence of
previous PTO administrations.
GOAL #2: Bring the PTO into the twenty-first century by
improving the organization’s accessibility to the community
through clearer and faster school-home communication,
streamlining organizational services that allowed greater fiscal
accountability, and through further development of the
organization’s website, email and social networks.
GOAL #3: Develop greater fundraising strategies and improve
current fundraisers to reap greater revenue intake which will in
turn better allow the organization to support the education of
students. The goal of the organization for the fiscal year 2011-12
was to surpass the revenue intake for the previous fiscal year which
totaled $15,000. This goal is a part of the $50,000 three-year capital
improvements campaign goal.
A leader has the vision and
conviction that a dream can
be achieved. He inspires the
power and energy to get it
done.

In June 2011, the Executive Council was informed by our legal
representatives (Pfau Englund Non-Profit Law/Parent Booster USA) that the
tax-exempt status of the organization has been revoked by the IRS in 2008,
due to a failure of the council in submitting the required Form 990N.
However, the IRS was able to recover all forms filed by the organization.
It is the understanding of the current PTO administration, that because of the
unintended negligence of a previous Executive council to file the annual
report to the State of Hawaii, the corporation registered as the “Hoʻokena
School PTO” was administratively dissolved by the Department of
Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Pursuant to law, the IRS also recognized
the dissolution of the corporation and revoked the tax-exempt status of the
organization. Succeeding PTO councils continued to operate the
organization without knowledge that such dissolution has occurred.
In August 2011, the Executive Council consisting of Wryen Kiwaha, Andy
Louis, Wendy Baez and Lorraine Medeiros began working with Parent
Booster USA to reinstate our non-profit tax-exempt status with the IRS; and,
independently create a new corporation under the name “Hoʻokena
Elementary School PTO.”
On August 11, 2011, the members of the Executive Council completed and
signed the Articles of Incorporation, which was filed with the State
Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. On August 15, 2011, the
State of Hawaii officially filed the Articles of Incorporation, and the
organization was officially incorporate. The Articles of Incorporation were
later amended on September 1, 2011, to enter additional wording required
by the IRS.
On August 28, 2011, the IRS issued a determination letter, providing us with
a new Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN: 45-3087924. On
September 26, 2011, Sandra Pfau Englund – a legal representative of the
organization – filed on our behalf Form 1023, the Application for
Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Service.
As required by incorporation, a business or non-profit entity must file for a
General Excise Tax license to carry out business in the State of Hawaii.
And, non-profit organizations that further achieve their mission and vision
through fundraising, must also file for a GET exemption. In March, the
General Excise Tax license was issued to the organization, and exemption
was granted to the PTO on a conditional basis. The PTO administration is
currently working on gaining full exemption. Such matters are expected to
be resolved by the end of the fiscal year.
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and
the dissemination of truth.

On September 1, 2011, the new corporation officially met for the first time
at its General Membership Meeting for Budget and Development. Among
the items on the agenda, was approving a revision of the Articles and
Bylaws. This revision was drafted in a collaborative effort of the Executive
Council through discussion and review of the 2012 revision of the Bylaws
over a period of one month.
The purpose of the revision pertained to incorporation. The 2010 revision,
which was drafted by Wryen Kiwaha, and approved in May 2012, reflected
the PTO’s status as an unincorporated association of faculty, staff, parents
and community members. Now, with incorporation, the Articles and Bylaws
needed to reflect that change of status, and include many provisions required
of a corporation.
Among the changes to the Articles and Bylaws, the Executive Council
officially became the “Board of Directors.” The Board of Directors consists
of all four elected officers – President, Vice President, Secretary and
treasurer – and, as an ex-officio member, the Principal, or his/her designated
representative. This further strengthens the relationship and communication
between the corporate administration and the school administration, which
in previous years, was non-existent.
The organization changed the number and designation of general
membership meetings. According to the current bylaws, the organization
now is required to meet only three times a year – in September, for budget
and development; in January, for a mid-year review; and, in May, for the
election of new officers and full financial review. Also the PTO added a new
type of meeting – planning meetings, where the membership may meet to
plan and organize its fundraisers without going through the formalities
associated with a general or special meeting.
The new bylaws also give the Treasurer the authority to expend up to $1,000
without approval from the membership, provided that the treasurer is
required to inform the Board prior to making such expenditure, and then
report such expense to the full membership at a general, planning or special
meeting. Prior to this change, any expense needed to be approved by the
membership making it difficult for the Treasurer to pay time-sensitive,
organizational expenses.
While we believe in one community, and share an important vision that
moves our keiki forward, it is important that the organization makes a clear
distinction between the school and the PTO. And, we believe that the PTO
has accomplished that. We are an independent organization, whose members
make all decisions pertaining to the affairs of the organization; and, which is
dedicated to supporting the school and our community.
In order to succeed, your desire for success needs to
be greater than your fear of failure.

Prior to 2010, the PTO has no means of communication with parents besides
the Parent Bulletin. The PTO didn’t even have its own standardized email
address. Immediately, the Board of Directors began to develop a social
media and electronic communications plan to reach out to parents in a
different way.
In August 2010, the organization created its own website for the first time
through a service created by Microsoft office Small Business. This service
allowed parents and staff to stay updated with the PTO’s calendars, receive
news updates from the Board about PTO meetings or events, or contact the
Board directly through a messaging app.
On April 30, 2010, Microsoft Office Small business transitioned to a costlier
program that did not meet the needs of the organization. On May 2, 2012,
the PTO Board created a new website through Wordpress – an online
blogging community that now hosts our personalized website for a low cost.
This new website is now fully operational at www.hookenapto.com.
On January 2, 2011, the PTO expanded its social network outreach by
creating accounts on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, which are slowly but
steadily growing in followers. These were created as another means of
communication by which parents, staff, students and other community
supporters could access the organization. Our Facebook page saw its
greatest growth in followers immediately after the May Day Hoʻolauleʻa
was held on Friday, May 4, 2012.
Also, beginning May 22, 2012, the organization can now collect donation
online through a program called We-pay. We-pay collects all funds donated
by credit/debit card and where directed by the campaign organizer (in this
case the President or Treasurer) sends funds by money order, check or by
direct deposit into our organization’s bank account. We-pay deducts 6%
from each donation as a program fee.
These continuing efforts by the Board of Directors have made the PTO
much more accessible to our members – especially in a society where
parents, teachers and staff have less time to devote to the organization
because of work, home and community schedules. We do need to further
develop and improve our outreach, and the Board will continue to work
towards that.
But communication is two-
sided; vital and profound
communication makes demands
also on those who are to
receive it – of genuine effort to
receive what is being
communicated.

Since 2008, the State of Hawaii has continued to make millions
in cuts to the budget of the Department of Education – affecting
the amount of money each school receives annually. Principals
throughout the state have been forced to cut educational
programs, and worse, faculty and staff positions. Our school,
too, is no stranger to such changes and difficulties.
At the beginning of the 2010/11 school year, the Board of
Directors (then styled “Executive Council”) met at its first
general membership meeting of the year where the principal
identified the needs of the school – of which the main need was
computers/technology. Immediately, the PTO created a $20,000
Capital Improvements Campaign to be fulfilled over a two-year
period.
When the goal was exceeded at the beginning of the 2011/12
school year, the Board of Directors was created at $50,000
campaign over a three-year period and then to a $100,000
campaign over a 3-year period. So far, through the efforts of the
organization, the school raised $17,000, which is 34% of the
current campaign goal. The Board will continue its efforts
towards reaching our goal by the end of the fiscal year 2013/14.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
At the beginning of June 2011, the Board of Directors immediately began
organizing the tournament, with the desire to exceed $8,000 raised from the
previous tournament. Information and registration packets were sent out to
the community and were available at the Kona country Club. Also, the
Board began soliciting sponsorships and prize donations.
The PTO held its 4th
Annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 27,
2011, at the Kona Country Club in Keauhou. In total, 68 golfers registered
to play the tournament. This number alone raised the organization $3,400,
not including the money raised from the purchase of $20 mulligans. In total,
our gross profit, including registration, mulligans and hole sponsorships, the
organization raised $12,000 – surpassing the previous fundraising total of
$8,800 by 33%. A total of $8,800.04 was donated to the school.
MAY DAY HOʻOLAULEʻA
When the school returned from winter intercession, the organization met on
January 19, 2012, when the Board began planning the May Day
Hoʻolauleʻa. An extensive discussion took place amongst members, and by
the end of the meeting, the music, menu and booths have been decided,
leaving the Board to begin carrying out the plan. By Thursday, May 3, 2012,
everything was going according to plan. The tents and booths have been set
up by the staff; donations, except for baked goods, had been received and
were being priced; and, volunteer lists had been prepared and were being
reviewed by the Board of Directors.
On Friday, May 4, 2012, the PTO hosted the Hoʻolauleʻa, immediately
following the May Day program. The concession booth sold a local plate
lunch (sweet & sour spareribs, rice, macaroni salad, cake & drink),
vegetarian plate and chili bowls. The Country Store sold plants, baked
goods, kitchenware, picnic items, arts and crafts, and more. And, the booths
were busy with kids lining up to play and win prizes. The entertainment was
wonderful with Maka Gallinger performing first; followed by Micah
Deaguiar and Ensan Kawaʻauhau.
The event was a success. Even when the rain started falling at around 1:30
p.m., the program continued – with guests making last-minute stops to the
Country Store and musicians continuing to perform until 2:00 p.m. In total,
the PTO raised $4,000. This money will be carried over to the next year to
fund our annual appropriations budget which includes money for school
programs and donations to community organizations like the Society for
Kona’s Art and Education (SKEA).
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively
and to think critically. Intelligence plus character –
that is the goal of true

COVER ART: The picture featured on the cover was painted by a local Hawaii artist named Pukuniahi, and it is entitled “Hoʻokena.” The image portrays the beauty of Hoʻokena Beach, with an emphasis on its pristine shoreline and cliffsides, which are a part of the magnificent Kona Coast. Pukuniahi now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, also known as Hawaiiʻs “Ninth Island.” Pukuniahi www.pukuniahi.com CONTENTS PAGE: Another painting entitled “Beach at Hoʻokena” was done by Suzanne Dix, a local artist from Ocean View, Hawaii. This painting takes you to our home beach and allows the viewer to experience Hoʻokena under the shade of the famous kamani tree, which stands there today. Suzanne Dix has painted other Hawaii Island beaches and landmarks including Honaunau Beach, Punaluʻu Ponds, Kona Boys Surf Shop and Huliheʻe Palace.
