HALLOWEEN BRINGS A SCARE TO AIEA

Image
October 29, 2010: The halloween festivities were brought to Aiea a couple days early this year. Students dressed up all throughout the school. At wiki, those students made their way down to A5 to receive spirit points for their class, and to the outdoor stage at lunch to compete in the annual halloween costume contest. The three categories were scariest, most original and best group costume. And, although gloomy weathers hit, students still came out to show off their halloween spirit!

October 28, 2010: Aieas annual talent search forms went out on October 12, 2010 and lasted until October 20, 2010. On Wednesday, October 28 the various acts gathered in front of Aiea High School's gym to rehearse for the talent search auditions. Groups and individuals sang covered acoustics and acapellas of current popular songs and danced for entertainment, in hopes of making the first cut of the talent search competition. All of the acts were considered winners to the three anonymous judges, but until the talent search assembly on November 12, the contestants could only wait and hope to be the lucky one!

KID'S FEST

October 24, 2010: Aiea High School's executive council along with their class advisors and a few AHS club members volunteered in our annual community service event, Kid's Fest. They gathered at the entrance of the Bishop Museum bright and early on Sunday morning. The volunteers divided into groups to work during the 5-hour event at the childrens snack tents and the main food booths. Hundreds of children along with their parents enjoyed the games and activities in the court yard and educated themselves with the hands on activities held in the museum. After a tiring yet successful day, the volunteers bonded and cooled down with icy treats. It was definitely an enjoyable way to meet new people and rack up on those community service hours!

October 14, 2010: Both Aiea High School and Inokuchi High School students woke up bright and early to prepare themselves for the long yet, fun day ahead of them. Aiea High Schools' student association along with about 30 other Japanese 3 and 4 students rode the bus to the Waikiki Mariott hotel where the students were staying. Half of the 330 students made their way to Diamond Head Trail for the work-out they'd never forget and the other half toured four important Hawaii landmarks; the Kamehameha Statue, Iolani Palace, the State Capitol and Washington Place. After the heat, all students met at Ala Moana Beach Park for lunch and bonding. (Click on the images provided above to enlarge)

October 13, 2010: Aiea High School's sister school, Inokuchi High School from Hiroshima, Japan traveled to Oahu from September 13 to the 16. The second day back from fall break, students from all Japanese 1, 2, 3 & 4 classes gathered in the school in gym in celebration of our schools' 10th sister school anniversary. As the Japanese high schoolers arrived, the AHS Japanese students greeted them and both audiences received entertainment. Aiea High Schools' Seaside Singers sang our newest version of the school alma mater, special performances were made and Mr. Avilla's hula class taught a group of Inokuchi students basic hula moves. AHS students met with their pen pals for the first time in person and made many new friends. Then, in the final 25 minutes of the assembly, a mini basketball game was held between both schools.
