LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL<br />
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br />
The elementary campus has been very<br />
busy in the <strong>2nd</strong> quarter, with our community<br />
outreach, fundraisers, and preparing<br />
for our Christmas concerts and musical.<br />
I received so much positive feedback on<br />
how amazing our students were at the<br />
concerts. People were amazed with the<br />
Maria Pauley: Principal<br />
dynamic song selections and the confidence<br />
the children showed while performing at KaMakana Ali’I<br />
and at the Taste of Waipahu. GREAT JOB!<br />
Our school’s Akamai Club, participated in the Kapolei Hale’s<br />
“Forest of Trees”, by creating handmade, beautiful, angel ornaments<br />
for our tree. Thank you to Mrs. McKinney for your idea<br />
and leadership. Swing by Kapolei Hale to see our Christmas tree.<br />
Also, 6th Grade and the Akamai Club had a blast being a part of<br />
the Waipahu Town Christmas parade. This is our 5th year participating!<br />
They passed out candy and wished the community a<br />
Merry Christmas! The trolley ride was so much fun. Thank you<br />
to our parents who brought in decorations and helped decorate.<br />
Finally, I would like to proceed with re-surfacing our playground<br />
area and replacing our upstairs water fountain with a water filling<br />
station by Spring Break! If you have not paid your fundraising<br />
fee of $200 for 1st semester please, do so immediately, the<br />
<strong>2nd</strong> semester fee will be due, no later than end of 3rd quarter.<br />
Your participation will ensure the safety and fun of our students.<br />
God Bless,<br />
Principal Pauley<br />

We would like to extend a warm invitation<br />
to you and your family to join us December<br />
24th for our Annual Candlelight Service.<br />
The service begins at 6:00 pm.<br />
ATTENTION! Pueo Print is our new<br />
uniform company and they were a<br />
success on the last day of school with their<br />
“pop-up” shop in campus. Parents were able<br />
to try and buy! Please, make sure your children’s<br />
uniforms fit properly before they return<br />
in January. You can visit them at the old<br />
Campus Creations location and online at:<br />

MOLOKAI SWEETBREAD FUNDRAISER<br />
Resurfacing Playground Mat<br />
Molokai Sweetbread has always been a great fundraiser for Lanakila. It is the perfect accompaniment to<br />
your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Sales for Thanksgiving helped us raise $1,915 toward the resurfacing<br />
of our playground mat.<br />
The Christmas order must be picked up on Wednesday, December 20th from 11:00-1:00 pm.
LANAKILA BAPTIST ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE <strong>2017</strong><br />
Helping those in Need!<br />
October <strong>2nd</strong> Lanakila kicked off its 17th annual food drive. On November 20th, students from the elementary, along<br />
with high school NHS and staff members loaded 10,867 lbs. of food into a truck and delivered it to River of Life Mission.<br />
5,903 lbs. of the food was donated just at the elementary. One can of food, or one bag of rice doesn’t seem like<br />
much, but when everyone does a part, well there is no telling what can be done!<br />
“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,<br />
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42<br />
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD<br />
The Journey of a Shoebox!<br />
It starts with You and results in blessing children in need<br />
around the world. But it doesn’t stop there. Packing shoeboxes<br />
provides students with an opportunity to actively<br />
open their hearts up to others. The Word of God says,<br />
“Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto the<br />
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”<br />
Matthew 25:40. WHAT AN HONOR!<br />
93 BOXES COLLECTED!<br />

Thursday, December 14th it snowed at Lanakila. What a wonderful time the students<br />
