HSTA covers the luncheon costs for the Teacher of Year honoree and our retirees. 

2. Tuesday, March 14 AM WIS SIGN-WAVING:
Please wear RED and prepare to sign-wave in front of the office. If you do not yet have a shirt, there are more available!

Future sign-waving:

According to Rae Yamanaka, the Hilo Chapter will coordinate after school sign-waving events in April. I will keep you posted.

Can WIS students sign-wave alongside teachers?:

APC and admin discussed this issue (3-9-2017), and it was decided that students may sign-wave if their parent/guardian is willing to sign-wave with them. This protocol will free teachers of bearing any liability while sign-waving, and also encourage more parent involvement. If you have questions about this decision, please see Joy Grabar.
