A Message
from the Director
In 2013-2014, Huakailani School for Girls reached
a six year milestone with 28 students and 7 staff
members.
We graduated two, sixth graders from the school
in 2014. We are extremely proud of the two 2014
graduates who attended Huakailani for three
and ve years. Just as the graduating sixth graders before them, our 2014 graduates are attending their rst choice of middle schools.
As Director and Core Teacher, I am fortunate to
be able to work with such bright and creative girls
and dedicated and talented teachers. They never cease to amaze me with their enthusiasm, intelligence and passion for learning and playing.
A highlight of the school year was the establishment of the schools award winning robotics
team. Butterybotics, is composed of our fourth, fth and sixth grade students who began a
new journey for themselves and the school. Exhibiting perseverance, spirit, energy, creativity,
and new found science, technology, engineering, and math skills, Team Butterybotics earned
two local Design Awards and an international Design Award. The team was also selected as
one of 65 VEX IQ Robotics teams invited to the 2014 VEX Robotics World Championship in Anaheim, California.
The school is beginning to establish deeper roots in the community with continuing service learning programs such as the City and Countys AdoptA Block Clean Ups and Plant Your Butts Here.
The school launched its rst Annual Fund Drive that
raised $10,500 from community partners, alumnae,
parents, students and Board Members.
Moving forward, the noble journey continues on as Huakailani
School for Girls, along with students, families, staff and supporters begins to spread its wings
and soar into the 7th year for the
school.

All-Girl Power!
Research supports that girls at single-gender schools are more likely to instill the condence to take non-traditional courses in subjects that run against gender stereotypes, such as advanced math and physics.
All students take center stage at Huakailani in a safe, nurturing and engaging environment. The mission of the
school is to ignite a love of learning within each student and to lay a solid academic and social foundation. The
school supports students to become open-minded, knowledgeable, productive, principled and responsible students who are educationally and socially prepared for the middle school years ahead.
The combination of classroom, community, and culture makes an all-girl education a powerful and transformative experience.
This was the rst year any of the girls (and their coach) have
worked with creating and designing robots! Therefore, they
were considered underdogs from the day they started their
robotic journey in October 2013; just giving it a try for experience. Three Design Awards and an Inspire Award later from
state and international competitions, the team learned the
benets of practice, perseverance, dedication, a positive
spirit and of course Girl Power. Their Can Do spirit has
been an inspiration to their classmates, parents, teachers
and girls around the world!
The rst strong male bond girls have is with their fathers.
Thats why this years Wonderland themed event for girls
of all ages and the special father gures in their lives was designed to provide opportunities for strong, healthy relationships between fathers and their daughters. In addition to
raising $4,712.00 for the school robotics program, the event
also teaches young girls what it means to be treated with
love and respect. The goal is that fathers will continue to
be positive role models and that these girls will have healthy
relationships as teens and adults as a result.
The annual Nutcracker Performance in December is an extravagant show! Each student takes on two roles in the musical, with
many of the roles being traditional for each grade level. This allow students to look forward to growing from being a mouse in
kindergarten to playing the lead role as Clara in fourth grade.
Performing arts education is a hallmark of the school. It aids child
development through social skills, discipline, memorization, building a strong work ethic, self-esteem, performance skills, and an
appreciation for physical tness.
School gardens are a wonderful way to use the schoolyard as a classroom, reconnect students with the natural
world and the true source of their food, and teach them
valuable gardening and agriculture concepts and skills that
integrate with several subjects, such as math, science, art,
health and physical education, and social studies, as well
as several educational goals, including personal and social
responsibility.
