A Gift for the Maryknoll Sisters
Video produced by Cadge Productions www.cadgeproductions.com
This video is a gift for our founders, the Maryknoll Sisters, who are celebrating their centennial anniversary this year. Having established our school 85 years ago, the Maryknoll Sister's gifted our community with a legacy of service, as is evident in our school motto: "Noblesse Oblige, to whom much is given, much is expected." This touching video seeks to bring our school community closer to the Sisters, educate people about the Mother House in Ossining, New York and give them an idea of the breadth and scope of the Sister’s 100 years of service.

Every year, our 8th graders spend time learning all about the Civil War. To bring their studies to life, our outstanding teachers coordinate a field trip to Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden, where the students actually learn how to march in formation, just as the Union and Confederate soldiers did. To help our students gain a more in-depth perspective of life and times during the Civil War, volunteers from the Hawaii Civil War Roundtable Group join the students, dressed in historic Union and Confederate attire.
“Ma ka hana ka ike” (by observing, one learns), is what the advanced Hawaiian language students learned on their service trip to Kaua’i from April 23 to April 25. While on Kauai, the students visited multiple places, including Makauwahi cave, Waipa and Anahola. On the first day, the students went to Makauwahi cave, which is in Mahaulepu, Koloa, Kauai. They helped restore ancient grounds by taking out invasive species and constructing a Hawaiian rock wall. All of this was done with the help of the native Niihau people, who speak the native Hawaiian dialect. This gave the students an opportunity to practice what they learned in the classroom with the native speakers.
Wednesday, May 16th was “Back to the Future Day” at Maryknoll Grade School! “Back to the Future” is a PTG-sponsored event where students who have been studying at Maryknoll for 12+ years are asked to return to the grade school, in particular-the Kindergarten classes, and spend time with the kindergarteners doing various activities and sharing their experiences about attending Maryknoll School from grade school through senior year of high school and the road to graduation.
We're in the home stretch for the 2011-12 Annual Investment in Maryknoll campaign. We have until the end of June to meet our 2011-12 goal of $425,000. The education of our Maryknoll children is a partnership - your participation in this mission through your gifts makes all the difference and we see it every day in the faces of our children.
