Dear Parents,<br />
T<br />
here<br />
are some exciting activities going on<br />
throughout the school that will be coming<br />
to fruition as we move through the<br />
remainder of the school year. Most obvious is the<br />
structure that is rising above the current theater.<br />
The new Creative Arts Center is moving forward<br />
quickly and will be completed by the start of the<br />
next school year. This facility is the culmination<br />
of a significant planning process that involved all<br />
members of the school community from the<br />
board, administration, art faculty, to parents and<br />
students who were involved in the master<br />
planning process that took place four years ago.<br />
This facility will provide a well thought-out<br />
teaching area for the arts, a space that will house<br />
all students and faculty for assemblies and special<br />
activities, and a venue for special events for both<br />
the school and the upcountry community. There<br />
is still much to accomplish, but when it is<br />
completed, we will be blessed with an amazing<br />
facility.<br />
There are also some significant changes being<br />
made to the current May Day program. Although<br />
it has been a traditional event, it has always been<br />
difficult finding time to prepare for the<br />
performance and create a day-long program that<br />
reflects the mission of the school. With the<br />
addition of Kumu Napua Makua as our instructor<br />
of Hawaiian Studies and Language, we have<br />
created a committee to review and redesign the<br />
curriculum so it truly reflects its purpose: to<br />
provide an education experience that allows<br />
young people to better understand and appreciate<br />
the gifts that we receive from the our Hawaiian<br />
culture. Kumu Napua has solicited the assistance<br />
of several kumu throughout the Maui community<br />
to join her in working with the individual classes.<br />
The focus of the event will be on a quality<br />
experience for the students that provides a<br />
meaningful presentation for our guests and for the<br />
entire <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> community. The “May Day<br />
Court” will no longer be part of the event,<br />
because it truly does not reflect the Hawaiian<br />
culture but will include hula, chant, and song.<br />
The event will take place on Friday, April 28,<br />
from 9:30 until 11:00 am. Students will then<br />
feast on an authentic Hawaiian meal (we would<br />
love to invite families, but we are not able serve<br />
that many people). During the afternoon, students<br />
will be treated to a concert by a well-known<br />
Hawaiian musical group. School will end at the<br />
normal time.<br />
We are pleased with the increased number of<br />
academic extra-curricular activities that are taking<br />
place on campus. These activities are bringing<br />
notoriety to the school by providing opportunities<br />
for students to demonstrate their expertise in a<br />
variety of academic areas. The Upper School<br />
Math Team and Middle School Mathcounts<br />
program, led by Middle School instructor Steve<br />
Verno have been busy preparing for competitions.<br />
The Middle School MathCounts team recently<br />
(Continued on page 2)
(Continued from page 1)<br />
won the Maui County tournament. The Upper School Science<br />
department had several students to qualify to participate in the<br />
International Science Fair on the mainland in the summer.<br />
Students were also involved in the Ching Foundation’s “Inspired<br />
in Hawaii” contest and won the statewide grand prize for a video<br />
they produced. Students in both the Middle and Upper Schools<br />
are also involved in a new program with PBS and will be<br />
creating news and special interest stories that will be aired. We<br />
are also looking at expanding our Robotics program into the<br />
Upper School and are busy designing it in such a way that it is<br />
offered through an elective class next year.<br />
These types of activities are in line with 21 st century learning<br />
skills because they provide a project-based venue and place<br />
student in an experiential setting that requires them to participate<br />
in a dynamic environment. We will continue developing these<br />
types of programs in all disciplines within the school.<br />
Paddling, Girls Paddling, Girls Soccer, and Boys Soccer. The<br />
Boys’ Swim Team finished second in the MIL and was the top<br />
Maui team at the State Championships finishing fourth. Renny<br />
Richmond was a two event state champion. Also, sophomore<br />
sensation runner, Dakota Grossman was named runner of the<br />
year for the second straight year.<br />
So, as we move through the remainder of the school year, we are<br />
looking forward to celebrating the students’ successes in all<br />
endeavors in which they participate. We are all very proud of<br />
this fine school and its accomplishments. We pledge to never<br />
become complacent and to ensure that we provide the finest<br />
education possible for our students’ preparation for college and<br />
for life.<br />
Joseph J. Schmidt<br />
Headmaster<br />
Finally, we would like to congratulate the Athletic Department<br />
for an outstanding winter season. <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> won the MIL<br />
championship in Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Mixed<br />

<strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> Math<br />
Students Are the Best<br />
in Maui<br />
The <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> Middle School math<br />
team won the <strong>2012</strong> Maui County<br />
MathCounts competition in early<br />
February. Over 70 students from nine<br />
Maui County middle schools competed for<br />
the championship. The four students who<br />
represented <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> for the team<br />
score were eighth grader Bjorn Nelson,<br />
seventh grader Jesse Doan, sixth graders<br />
Shelby Ferrier and Melia Fong. Sixth<br />
graders Nick Endo, Townsend Roland<br />
and Darby Mulligan also performed at<br />
the event. Jesse Doan took first place<br />
individual honors as well as first place in<br />
the Countdown Round, a game show style<br />
head to head single elimination<br />
competition. This is the third straight year<br />
that <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> has won this prestigious<br />
event.<br />
This year’s math team also benefited<br />
greatly from the wisdom and experience of<br />
assistant coach Jasmine Doan, a ninth<br />
grade <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> student and Middle<br />
School alumni who has established herself<br />
as one of the top math students in the<br />
entire state. As Maui County champions<br />
the team has earned the right to represent<br />
Maui at the Hawaii State MathCounts<br />
Championship on Oahu.<br />

Grade<br />
Reports<br />
and<br />
Signups<br />
In the Upper School, as we approach<br />
Spring Break, two very important<br />
timetables are close to concluding. The<br />
first, of course, is the third quarter, which<br />
ends on <strong>March</strong> 8, the final day of school<br />
before the break. Coinciding with the end<br />
of the third quarter is the conclusion of the<br />
sign-up process for next year's courses.<br />
In the three weeks between Winterim and<br />
Spring Break students work closely with<br />
their advisors and grade-level deans to<br />
complete their four-year plans and course<br />
sign-up sheets for next year. Prior to the<br />
break, your child should bring<br />
home a completed course signup<br />
sheet. Please take a<br />
moment to compare your<br />
child's current performance<br />
with the offerings and<br />
descriptions for courses<br />
available in the fall. It is<br />
important that we all work<br />
together to create a schedule<br />
that is appropriate for your<br />
child's abilities and future<br />
aspirations. Once you have reviewed your<br />
child's course selections for the next<br />
academic year, please sign the form and<br />
have your student return it to his/her<br />
advisor prior to Spring Break.<br />
Planning for the future should be exciting.<br />
It is a wonderful venue to discuss future<br />
goals, likes and dislikes, and may be a<br />
wonderful catalyst for those of you<br />
embarking on college searches. In<br />
addition, the process will hopefully remind<br />
students of the importance of working<br />
until the end of the year.<br />
The beginning of the<br />
fourth quarter is a<br />
wonderful opportunity<br />
to process teacher's<br />
comments and apply<br />
suggestions so that one<br />
may end the semester<br />
on a high note. With a<br />
strong fourth quarter<br />
students can<br />
significantly improve their semester<br />
averages. Students should seek out their<br />
instructor's counsel on methods for<br />
improving as well as advice for the best<br />
methods of preparation for final exams or<br />
year-end assessments.<br />
Prom<br />
Although the <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> Prom is still<br />
over a month away on April 14, tickets<br />
will be going on sale during the week<br />
before Spring Break. The Prom is open to<br />
all 10 th , 11 th , and 12 th graders, who are<br />
welcome to invite guests. Prior to the<br />
break, tickets will be $65, but the price<br />
will go up ten dollars after the vacation.<br />
Specific details will be provided closer to<br />
the event.<br />
Also please take a moment or two over the<br />
Spring Break to appreciate being a<br />
family. Often times our schedules lead us<br />
in different directions and it is important<br />
Tour de Trash<br />
by Laura Mayron<br />
In January the members of the AP Biology, AP<br />
Environmental Science, Engineering, and<br />
Environmental Biology classes got a look at<br />
what happens to Maui’s trash during Maui<br />
County’s “Tour de Trash..” Presented by the<br />
Department of Environmental Management’s<br />
Solid Waste Division, the Tour de Trash seeks<br />
to show Maui’s students just what happens to<br />
their waste—be it garbage, recyclables,<br />
compost, and metals—and what they can do<br />
to help keep Maui clean.<br />
The first stop was the Central Maui landfill and<br />
Maui Eco Systems compost section. One of<br />
the highlights was a presentation by Pacific<br />
Biodiesel, the first commercial biodiesel<br />
business in the United States. Vice President<br />
Kelly King spoke to students on the production<br />
of various types of biodiesel and told them<br />
how they could become involved.<br />
Students were then taken to Hammerhead<br />
Metals, a scrap metal facility that processes<br />
metals from both the public and commercial<br />
businesses. Students watched a derelict car<br />
being crushed into a compact cube of twisted<br />
metal and glass.<br />
The tour continued on to Maui Disposal<br />
Company to see bales of compacted paper,<br />
glass, and aluminum, and hear how it is<br />
shipped abroad and to the mainland. The tour<br />
finished up at Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore,<br />
that sells donated residential construction and<br />
remodeling materials and also recycles<br />
electronics.<br />

Athletes of<br />
the Month<br />
If your child is a<br />
member of a spring<br />
team (Baseball, Boys<br />
We were very excited to recognize two<br />
young ladies who have been in the<br />
basketball program for four years. This<br />
year they overcame all obstacles to win the<br />
MIL championship. Megan O’Malley<br />
and Anna Rodgers have attended many<br />
summer and off season camps to hone<br />
their skills for their last year of high school<br />
basketball. Their efforts paid dividends as<br />
the team finished first in the MIL.<br />
Volleyball, Golf, Softball,<br />
Tennis or Track and Field)<br />
please check with your<br />
coach and find out when<br />
practices, matches or games<br />
are, so your child will be<br />
second, and the basketball and soccer<br />
teams won both of their league<br />
championships.<br />
In all, the winter sports competed in nine<br />
different leagues and came away with 6<br />
team championships. We’re very<br />
fortunate to have such<br />
wonderful youngsters<br />
representing <strong>Seabury</strong> <strong>Hall</strong>.<br />
A major reason for our success<br />
was the support of the families<br />
of all our athletes. Thank you<br />
to all of you who supported<br />
your child, or favorite team<br />
this past winter.<br />
We recognized three boys who contributed<br />
mightily to the swim team this year. All<br />
three scored points in the MIL where the<br />
team finished second in the MIL. Alex<br />
Armstrong has swum for four years.<br />
Tristan Loesberg has been on the team<br />
for three years while Cole Drake was able<br />
to compete for the first time this year.<br />
They have been tremendous models for the<br />
younger swimmers this season.<br />
Spring Break<br />
Spring Break is always a difficult time for<br />
our spring sports teams. Families go on<br />
vacation or it is difficult for the younger<br />
athletes to find transportation to practice.<br />

Great Winter<br />
While many parts of the country were<br />
under snow, or in a very cold space this<br />
winter, our athletic teams were extremely<br />
hot. The paddling teams began the assault<br />
as both the girls and the mixed teams took<br />
the MIL title. Not to be outdone, the<br />
soccer teams both won their respective<br />
league championships. The swim teams<br />
both had outstanding efforts to finish

College Counseling News by Nancy Ulin<br />
Juniors<br />
Don’t forget to sign up for the SAT<br />
Subject Tests if you are taking them<br />
(formerly known as the SAT II’s)! The<br />
May 5 test is ideal for taking any SAT<br />
Subject Test as you will be taking AP<br />
exams around the same time. Register for<br />
the May 7 test by April 6th. Go to<br />
www.collegeboard.com and log into your<br />
account.<br />
Don’t forget to sign up for the ACT April<br />
14 exam (with writing) by <strong>March</strong> 9! Go<br />
to www.act.org. We are not doing this in<br />
class – you are expected to sign up on your<br />
own.<br />
I have scheduled family conferences with<br />
the juniors and their parents. Please<br />
remember, I need to have the Brag Letter<br />
back by <strong>March</strong> 9.<br />
