INOKUCHI HIGH SCHOOL HOMESTAY STUDENTS FIND A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Image
March 28, 2011: From Wednesday, March 23, 2011 to Monday, March 28, 2011, two students from Aiea High School's sister school, Inokuchi High School paid a homestay visit to Hawaii. The Japanese student homestay hosts were junior Kelsie Sasabe paired with Chinatsu and Junior Ian Lactaoen paired with Ryosuke Imatomi. During their five-day trip to Hawaii, the Inokuchi students spent a couple usual school days at Aiea High School with their students. Then during the long four day weekend, they spent their days shopping, going to the beach, browsing museums and spending quality time with their newfound friends. Because the two students just arrived from Hawaii after devastation in Japan, Chinatsu and Ryosuke also spoke to appeal to not only AHS japanese students, but the entire school. As many clubs and SA prepared for a week full of work to support Japan, the students took our sympathy and let the school know how much help Japan is in need of. (Click on the images provided above)

March 26, 2011: The 2011 junior prom was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on March 26, 2011 from 5 pm to 10 pm. After months of planning and collaborating with the junior class officers, committee members, class advisor Sean Uwaine and chairperson Leisha Bento, the night turned out a hit. Bids were $125, including a buffet dinner, dancing and party favors. The night started off with friends and bonding, onto dinner, then ended with a night full of dancing. Dinner provided a delicious menu of various tuscon foods, from salads, rice, chickens and pastas; dinner was a satisfying filling. We'd all like to give a job well done to all who participated in the planning of a wonderful night! (Click on the images provided above to enlarge)

March 15, 2011: Senior class officers and volunteers took a few hours of their spring break to make their way to Aiea High School's outdoor stage. Every year, the senior class gets various opportunities to leave their mark behind as a legacy at AHS; the outdoor stage painting being one of them. Just before the end of the year, seniors design and paint the stage in remembrance of their class for the final quarter of the year and on through the following year. The class of 2011 painted the stage a turquoise-blue matching their senior class t-shirts, keeping to their color scheme since the very first day of their senior year.
