Advisory: Grade
6
"O
ke ali‘i lilo i ka le‘ale‘a a mälama ‘ole
i ke kanaka me ke kapu akua, ‘a‘ole ia he ali‘i
e ku ai i ka moku."
(Advice to young people that success comes not
by seeking idle pleasure but by living up to one's beliefs
and caring for the welfare of others.)

‘Ölelo No‘eau
Hawaiian Proverbs & Poetical Sayings
Aloha
Mai!
My Advisory ‘Ohana includes the following 6th grade students--
they're "Quadruple A": An Absolutely Awesome Advisory!
Upon
entering Advisory, each student offers me a warm smile coupled
with a firm, businesslike handshake and good eye contact! Next,
students listen to morning announcements and learn the Hawaiian
Value of the Month. During Advisory, each student takes
a turn at sharing devotion by reading from our Teenage Book of
Devotions and Bible. Lastly, we gather in a circle and close
with a pule (prayer), clasping hands, which sets the foundation
for positive thoughts and learning--last one into the classroom
begins pule, and everyone has the opportunity to add to the prayer
circle when receiving a squeeze of their left hand. We
thank our Heavenly Father daily for our countless blessings, and
we especially give thanks to Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop
for her generous legacy which allows us the opportunity to be
a part of the Kamehameha Schools Maui ‘Ohana.
‘Ämene (Amen)!
As
Advisor, my goal is to help each student succeed in meeting our
Kamehameha Schools Maui Campus expectations. My role
is to support each student in every possible way, always to be
there if they need someone to confide in. In doing
so, I try to model and encourage the practice of our Hawaiian
Values.
