Dear Parents,
There are times when our students step
forward and demonstrate their leadership,
generosity, vision and desire to make
a difference in ways that can be truly
amazing. The month of January has been
one of those times.
On the first day after the Christmas
break, a student came up to me and asked
what the student body could do to assist
with the relief effort for the tsunami victims
in Southeast Asia. I asked her to
make an announcement in assembly that
there would be a meeting in my office at
noon to discuss this issue. About 25 students
attended the meeting and, following a
long discussion, a couple of committees
were formed. One committee would research
relief agencies whom through we
could direct our fundraising. The second
The final statement in our mission is
that we should “cause young people to
realize their responsibility to community.”
committee would develop fundraising programs.
Prior to the end of this initial
meeting, the group decided to set a goal for

Seabury Hall Parent
Organization News
By Cheryl Kaupalolo
Aloha Parents and
Guardians,
Over the holidays, I downloaded the SHPO
Survey results with the idea of putting all
the information into a format that would
make it easy to disseminate to our different
committees. I have to tell you that I was
totally overwhelmed. Here we asked all of
you to participate and to give us your feedback
and I am looking at ten pages of results,
just kind of lost. It was truly a forest
through the trees moment. I was kicking
myself saying, “Okay you asked for this
information, now what do you do with it.”
Don’t get me wrong; before we asked the
(Continued on page 2)

Seabury Hall Parent Organization News (continued)
(Continued from page 1)
questions, we definitely knew how we were going to
use the responses. But to actually
get pages of information and do
something constructive with it…..I
was kind of frozen in this semipanic
mode for a couple of days. (I
will admit that the fact that I hadn’t
even started my holiday gift shopping
may have added fuel to the
panic mode.) Luckily, on our
SHPO Board there are people who
are experts at seeing the forest
and understanding how they relate
to trees and I was eventually put
back on track.
To those of you who did respond
to the survey, thank you so much!
The information gathered from this survey is invaluable.
The comments were very thoughtful, constructive and
enlightening. We are in the
process of analyzing the results
at many levels and plan
on using them to improve
SHPO so that it can better
fulfill its mission statement.
Thank you for taking the time
to respond!
January 4 th
SHPO meeting
We start each meeting with
the reading of the SHPO Mission
Statement. This helps to
remind us why we are there
and get us on the same track.
Planning for the 32nd Annual Craft Fair has
begun! See the Craft Fair News (last page)
for information about how you can help.
• The Education Committee is busy making
sure everything is in place for the
two education nights we have in
January.
• The Textbook Committee
is actively thinking about the logistics
for the Used Book Sale.
• The Parent Participation
Committee is ready to move on
to the next steps in their process,
now that they have the survey
results in hand.
We reviewed the Survey Results and
divided the questions up amongst the
various committees. Each committee
is tasked with coming to the March
meeting with recommendations for
the Board to discuss. In order to give the committees ample
time to meet as often as needed to come up with their
recommendations, the February
SHPO meeting is being cancelled.
SHPO’s Parent
Education Committee
hosted drug
educator Gary Shimabukuro
of
Laulima Hawaii
during its general
meeting on January
20th. The following
morning, he
presented drug
abuse information
to students
during assembly.
The Executive Committee will
be meeting to look at the overall
survey results and form their own
recommendations before the
March meeting.
Joe Schmidt presented the
Headmaster’s Report. Included in
the report: College Acceptances,
Drug and Alcohol Education, Craft
Fair Update, and Alumni Assessments.
Mr. Schmidt encouraged
attendance of Dr. J. Zink’s program on January 27 and at
Mr. Gary Shimabukuro’s presentation on January 20.
Cheryl then introduced Karli
Smallwood as the 2005 Craft
Fair Chair. Karli’s willingness to
step forward to fill this very
important slot in our school
community was recognized and
appreciated. She reported that
most of the Committee Chairs
are in place and welcomed new
ideas.
Gayle Hart informed us that she is
gearing up for the Craft Fair and
thanked everybody for their time and
new ideas.
The next board meeting is Tuesday,
March 1 st at 6:30 pm in the Dining
Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Even though the SHPO Committees
did not meet over the
holidays:
Also during January, Dr. J. Zink, worldrecognized
speaker, gave an insightful presentation
full of humor and useful information
on parenting in a well-attended gathering.

Upper School News
By Lou Young

Dear Upper School Parents,
Happy Valentine’s Day!! I can’t believe that it
is February, and in four short months, school
will be over. Looking ahead I see that the
ensuing months will be a veritable smorgasbord
of activities and special events. Listed
below is a sample:
Community Day / Rally
Day
Community Day will take place on February 4 th . This
day offers the students an opportunity to show their
appreciation of our community – a community that encompasses
such groups as the class, the school, the local
community and the world. Consequently, the morning
assemblies during the week leading up to February 4 th
will be devoted to global issues. Speakers and programs
will ask the students to reflect on our world, their place
in it and everyone’s responsibilities to help make it a
better place.
On Community Day itself, students will spend the
morning with their grade level out in our local community
performing chores that will help individuals and organizations.
These chores can range from picking up
trash, washing windows and painting buildings, to visiting
with and assisting people who struggle to help themselves
such as the physically or mentally challenged and
some elderly people. Each group will be taking digital
photos of the morning and a slide show will be quickly
produced and shown in the afternoon so that all can see
the collective good we can do when we work together.
The afternoon will be turned over to some of our student
leaders as they put on events designed to further
enhance school spirit and bonding. I know for a fact
how excited these leaders are. They are a wonderful
group of dedicated students who are constantly looking
for ways to make the Seabury Hall experience be the
best it can be.
The day will end with a whole school event followed by
an ice cream social. Finally, the Upper School will be
having its Valentine’s dance that evening.
This should be a great day!
Attendance
Just a quick reminder that parents are requested to
call the school (572-7235) between 8:00 a.m. and
9:00 a.m. if their son or daughter will not be attending
that day or will be missing any part of the day. Thank
you for your help in this matter.
Advanced Placement Art
Exhibits
The highly anticipated Advanced Placement Art exhibits
will begin on Monday, February 7 and continue every
Monday thereafter until every Advanced Placement Art
student has displayed their work. The public is cordially
invited to view this outstanding work. (I am sure that you
will be very impressed.)
Winterim: February 21 - 24
Winterim is designed to expand the Seabury program beyond
the classroom walls. It offers a hands-on, experiential
approach to learning, the chance to meet and interact
with different student groups across grade levels, and a
unique opportunity to grow in our understanding, appreciation
and support of each other and our Maui community
– its land and people.
The goals of Winterim are to provide opportunities for
students to:
• Experience learning outside of the standard
curriculum.
• Work together in a dynamic setting across
grade levels.
• Develop self-confidence by experiencing challenges
in unfamiliar settings.
• Gain a better understanding of their homeland
and the Hawaiian culture.
• Experience the joy of giving and understand the
importance of service.
Winterim is one of the concepts that makes Seabury Hall
so unique.
By now, your child should have received his/her Winterim
assignment and has met with his/her group. The Winterim
committee worked long hours carefully making
these assignments. They made sure that the brochure
accurately described the Winterim event, the requirements
and the cost so that students and parents could
make appropriate choices. As such, they used the cards
submitted and signed by students and parents attempting
to insure that every student was given one of his/her top 5
choices. As a result of the indicated choices and assignments,
commitments have been made to outside vendors,
professionals and locations. In the past, the period after
(Continued on page 5)

assignments was fraught with attempts to switch assignments
for sundry reasons (wanted to be with another
friend, changed mind, costs, etc.). Therefore, we are holding
firm to the assignments. If you have any questions,
please feel free to talk to Ms. Brenda Newton (Upper
School Winterim Director) or me, Lou Young. We will
be glad to talk to you.
Please don’t forget to fill out and return the necessary
forms such as Entrustment of Care form, or the Driving
Permission form (if your son or daughter will be driving
others or riding with others) or letters of notification of
any allergies or special food needs.
This year’s Winterim promises to be one of the best ever.
I am looking forward to working
with the golf Winterim.
Who knows, maybe I can
break 100.

Course
Selections
Currently, we are updating
our course offerings for next

courses and to highlight updates
to established courses.
Our Seabury Hall website will
be updated to outline course
offerings. Prior to the December
break, we asked all students
to meet with their advisor
to complete their fouryear
plan. The advisors will
give each student a copy of
that plan to share with their parents. Please feel free to
contact the advisor, the dean (Mr. Colflesh – 9 th grade, Ms.

plan, explore our website, and, using the advisor as a
resource, alter their child’s program as desired. The
deans and I will review every student’s course selections
and add our input as well. I believe that this
process, although time consuming, greatly adds direction,
interactive dialogue and clarity to what can sometimes
be a confusing maze. The target date for receiving
everyone’s input and completing this initial process
is February 28.
Once again, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions, comments or suggestions.
Senior Trip
Again, we are preparing for the 2005 senior trip. The
senior trip will take place from May
22 to May 25. This four-day
event has become a well-respected
tradition at Seabury Hall and provides
our seniors with the opportunity
to come together for one last
time in a safe and sober fashion prior
to graduation. You will be receiving
more information regarding this program
as the year passes. The cost of
the program will be $175 per student.
The price is all inclusive (four days of
food, lodging, guides, boat trips, activities,
entertainment, transportation,
etc.) Payment will be discussed with
the seniors during a class meeting.
Seniors are reminded that their first
payment for their senior trip ($80)
was due on January 28 with the
second payment ($80) due February
18 and the third payment of ($15) by March
28. We will, of course, accept full payment at any time.
Graduation
We are planning for graduation. (I am beginning to meet
with all seniors so that they can help me practice pronouncing
names.) Graduation is May 28.
During the months of January and February, the advisors,
armed with the four year plans, knowledge of graduation
requirements and other necessary information, will help
your son or daughter determine course selections for the
fall of 2005, and a tentative plan for the duration of their
years here at Seabury. Parents are asked to review the
I hope you all have a great month and please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions,

Seabury Hall Performing Arts presents The Night Thoreau
Spent in Jail, Henry David Thoreau’s act of civil
disobedience and its consequences. Playwrights Lawrence
& Lee – authors of Inherit the Wind and Auntie
Mame – have fashioned a memory play that shows us
the world of Walden pond, American Transcendentalism,
Non-violent civil disobedience, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
and the passionate intensity of Thoreau as a
young rebel.
“If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to
be an agent of injustice to another, then I say break
the law.” Thoreau put his words into action in 1846
when he refused to pay taxes because of the U.S. government’s
involvement in the Mexican War. For this
protest he was put in jail.
“The play’s message is timely,” says director Sally
Sefton. “Thoreau stands up against a war he believes
is wrong. His protest is informed, passionate, and
civil.”
Sefton directs a cast of over a dozen Seabury high
school students including senior Ry Penniman in the
role of Throreau. Others in the cast include Chris
Vail as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mirabel Bradley as his
wife, Celestine Casserley as Thoreau’s mother, Austin
Burt as his brother, and Karielle Brugman as his love
interest.

Andre Morissette’s Costume Design class. Set and

Middle School News
By Lehn Huff
Community Service in the
Middle School: Three
Levels
First, I wish to thank our parents who have
embraced the Seabury Hall philosophy of service.
At the global level, the entire school has
embraced the tsunami crisis in a school-wide
fundraising effort that will culminate on Friday,
February 18. Bake sales, car washes,
“piggy bank unloading” are some of the ways
in which each class will be raising money to
meet the goal of $10,000 or $20.00/person.
Within the first five days of introducing this
effort, over $2,000.00 was raised. On Friday,
February 4, the entire school will go
out into the Maui community to perform service
to Maui. The sixth grade will perform cleaning tasks
for the seniors at Hale Mahaolu in Makawao Town. The
seventh and eighth grades will clear pine seedings out of
the entrance to Haleakala National Park to prepare the
area for native Hawaiian plants. At the school level, middle
school advisement groups will perform their quarterly service
to Seabury tasks around Carter Hall, the library, the
PAS, and the reflection pond. Many thanks to the parents
who sign up to chaperone these events!
Winterim Update
The Middle School Winterim groups have been meeting
periodically since January
for orientation and
planning for their February
21-24 Winterim
events. Before the
actual week of Winterim,
all parents
should receive an itinerary,
as well as a
phone call, from the
Seabury faculty chaperone.
Students will
be canoeing, hiking,
camping the Crater,
flying radio-controlled
planes, snorkeling,
surfing, taking photos, making skateboards, becoming entrepreneurs
on Ebay, and making crafts. Many thanks to
parent volunteers, Mrs. Jill Cost and Mrs. Sharon
Dahlquist. Many thanks to Mrs. Michelle Brown and
Mrs. Donna Torres for a fine job of coordinating
this year’s Middle School Winterim 2005!!!!!
Drama and Speech
In January, our sixth grade students were offered the
opportunity to try out for the sixth grade play. Half
of this presentation will
be developed by the
students themselves
and half has already
been written. Both will
be performed under the
direction and guidance
of Ms. Marsha Kelly.
Each year we are
amazed at the creativity
and imaginations of our
sixth graders. This year’s
theme is, Ancestors, and
the production will be
presented in the Performing
Arts Studio Friday
and Saturday, March 11 and March 12 at 7:00 pm.
Seventh and eighth grade students who have an interest
in the drama program at Seabury should contact Ms.
Kelly about possible participation in the Intermediate
Speech Festival in early May. Categories open to our
students include story telling, poetry reading, dramatic
interpretation, and extemporaneous speaking.
New stairs to access the Middle School were
completed last month.
Pony rides will return for this year’s Craft Fair
on May 7th.
Eighth Grade Transition
Meeting for Parents
On Tuesday, February 8 from 6:30-8:30 pm in the
Dining Hall, there will be a special meeting for
eighth grade parents to introduce them to the
Upper School program. Information will be
given about registration procedures for next
year, P.E. and athletics, college counseling, and
Upper School student support programs.
Ms. Huff will emcee the evening in which parents
will meet and talk with: Mr. Joseph
Schmidt, Headmaster; Mr. Lou Young, Upper
School Head; Ms. Nancy Ulin, College Counselor;
and Mr. Steve Colflesh, Athletic Director.
Information about the 8 th Grade Project and the
8 th Grade Rite of Passage will be shared as well.
We look forward to full attendance at this important
planning meeting!
Student Acknowledgements
Please remember to send photo clips and copies of news
articles featuring your son or daughter in their community
involvements so that we can post them on our Spirit
Board. Mahalo!

Athletes of the Month
Congratulations to our three senior soccer players who
were recognized as Athletes of the Month. All three of
these students have shown a true passion for their sport.
They have played club soccer for years, coached youth
teams or have played on select teams.
Gena Gammie, Katie Kilbride and Evan Koehler are
true leaders of their teams and are wonderful models for
our younger athletes. We are very fortunate to have had
the opportunity to have these three in our program.
Changing Seasons
We will be beginning our Spring season in two weeks.
The choices at this time are as follows: Baseball, Girls’
Basketball, Track & Field, Golf, Tennis, Water Polo, and
the athletics class. There has always been some overlap
between certain winter and spring sports, for example
paddling goes through March 3rd. Any conflict can be
worked out between the student and involved coaches.
We are looking forward to an exciting spring season.
“No Cut” Policy
It is important to clarify our “no cut policy” with the
coming of the Spring sports season. We attempt to
place youngsters at the level that will give them an opportunity
to participate. For example, in volleyball we
have three levels of play. The most competitive level is
varsity, the second level is junior varsity and we also
have a level for those students just beginning a sport or
who would like more of a recreational experience. We

believe that any youngster who wants to experience an
interscholastic sport should be given that opportunity.
Tennis and Golf do not allow us to be so accommodating.
We are limited to the number of levels and participants
because of our practice facilities. Our golf coach is
told that he can cut the team to six players. The tennis
coaches are allowed to field a team of eight players.
Our goal is to keep as many students in the program as
possible. A policy whereby we “cut” students without
giving them the opportunity to play at some level would
be unacceptable. With regards to Tennis and Golf for
those students who do not make a team, we will give
them the opportunity to play two days a week off campus
in a structured format.
Please call the Athletic Office if there is clarification
needed on this point. We look forward to an enjoyable
Spring season.
Middle School League
We will be concluding our basketball league this month.
We are planning a two-day tournament where we will
keep score and have foul shots. This tournament will be
held February 25 and 26. The dates for Seabury are
somewhat awkward as we will be concluding our Winterim
week. Students who commit to playing will need
to be on island for those two days in February.
After basketball we begin our track unit. We compete in
the Kiwanis meet and then we will have two or three
other opportunities for our students to participate in a
track meet.
Please encourage your child to get involved - no matter
what the skill level. We encourage participation over
winning and losing.

Letter from the Headmaster (continued)
(Continued from page 1)
what they believed was a reasonable, yet generous
amount that they believed Seabury could raise. I was
stunned when the committee said
they wanted to raise $10,000 and
we were going to raise it by February
17. I had never seen this
level of fundraising achieved at the
student level in a school our size.
Actually, I was not certain that it
was possible. I must admit, I love
to be proven wrong by young people,
when the cause is appropriate.
As I write this letter, we are only
one week into the fundraising effort
and we have already reached
the $8,200 mark. I have no doubt
that we will reach the final goal
long before the deadline.
You, the parents of these young
people, should be very proud.
You have instilled some wonderful values in your children
that demonstrate a sense of altruism and an understanding
that the world’s problems are our problems.
We are very proud of our students’ involvement in the
community in other ways as well. Their
commitment to the welfare of others
extends well beyond the basic requirement
that is part of the Seabury curriculum.
They have created service-oriented
programs that are not just about raising
money, but also require a commitment of
time. The “Kids Helping Kids” program
continues to provide tutoring services for
the homeless. The “Dancing Palette”
program provides an art experience for
the developmentally handicapped. The
Interact Club works with the Terry Fox
Run and the “Relay for Life” for the
American Cancer Society. The Philosophy
Club sponsors a program for feeding
the homeless on Friday afternoons. Our
students have held rummage sales so that
gifts can be bought for the Headstart
Program children in Makawao, and they
have held very successful food drives for
the Maui Food Bank. I am awed by their desire to make
a difference.
Juniors Ashley Campbell and Nanette Le
are Mrs. Lacanienta’s faithful assistants!
The final statement in our mission is that we should
“cause young people to realize their responsibility to
community.” “Realize” certainly means understand, but
Nanette’s younger brother,
seventh-grader Ryan, gives a
“thumbs up” to their successful
experiments with the “slime”
they also created!
it also means to “make real.” The word was chosen
specifically for that purpose and I am pleased that we
are fulfilling this portion of our mission with such enthusiasm
and success.
Regarding the first statement of our
mission, “college preparatory,” I am
pleased to announce that our seniors
continue to garner college acceptances
at an amazing level. Three-quarters of
our senior students have received their
college acceptances. Almost one-half of
those students have received merit
scholarships. The colleges that students
have been accepted to include Yale,
New York University, Dartmouth,
Scripps, Loyola Marymount, Trinity
College, Emerson College, University of
San Diego, Santa Clara University, University
of San Francisco, University of
Colorado (Boulder), Willamette University,
California Polytechnic Institute (San
Luis Osbispo), Lewis & Clark College, Colorado State
University, University of the Pacific, Whittier College,
University of Redlands, Hawaii Pacific University, University
of New Hampshire, Weber State University,
Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), University
of Hawaii (Manoa), University of Manitoba
(Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), University
of Portland, Montana State University,
University of Oregon, Westmont College,
Hawaii Pacific University, and Chaminade
University.
We congratulate all of those students who
have received their acceptances and those
who will be receiving them.
In conclusion, we look forward to working
with our fine students during this second
semester and to sharing in all of their success.
We also look forward to the completion
of the ambitious Capital Campaign.
We have reached 93% of the goal. Our
building plan is still on time and on budget.
Finally, we will match our facilities with our
outstanding program and faculty.
Sincerely,
Joseph J. Schmidt,
Headmaster

Vive La Patisserie!

we can use anything to

a small café on the

La Patisserie is the place

ordinary craft fair” experience
here. Please call
now to volunteer, Dave or
Kathy Campbell.
P.S. Start planning for your
favorite chocolate baked
goods now.
Merci Beaucoup!
It’s Auction
Awareness Month!
Last year, the Live and Silent
Auctions revenue exceeded
$72,000!
Here’s how you can help
this year:
• Look in your homes for
new or unused and gently
used treasures you no
longer need or use (i.e.
antiques, collectibles, art,
china, linens, clothes, jewelry).
If we can’t use it,
we’ll pass it on to the appropriate
Craft Fair Committee.
• You can purchase an
item of any value to donate
– a nice candle, a gift
certificate, etc. We often
Volume III, Issue 1
February 2005
combine complementary
items to create something
of greater visual appeal
and total value.
• Sponsor Auction Committee
expenses by making
a cash donation.
• Pass on to Gayle Hart at
573-0068 the names of
businesses or friends who
may wish to donate to the
Auction. It’s great free
advertising!
Potted Plants
The Potted Plant Committee
is beginning to “pot”
and we need your donations.
We are looking for
pots, all sizes, in good condition.
HANGING pots are
especially wanted this
year. We need plants. Any
potted PLANTS that you
no longer want, even those
in poor health. ORCHIDS
are especially wanted this
year. Last but not least,
any old unwanted BAGS of
potting soil, cinders, bark,
etc. Please drop off all donations
in the UPPER
PARKING LOT after you
drop off your student.
There will be a sign indicating
that special place. They
will be gathered up and
removed daily. If you can
contribute any of these
items, please call
Patsy Pitts.
