Last week at the Lahaina Yacht Club we became sailors. I have sailed at the LYC before and I loved it but I have to admit that there are a lot of things that I still have to learn to be a real sailor.. It felt good to refresh my memory with the knot-tying, the wind direction, and the rigging. I have definitely learned one most important thing I must do before I sail. I always have to put sunscreen on because the sun can be brutal. I am so excited to do it again this week. I cant wait. : )
September 18 Erin, Krizhna, and I were fundraising for jogathon pledges. We had a carwash and washed 9 cars. We made $185. We will split the money amongst us evenly. Today we will continue the carwash and wash 4 more cars. We will do a lot more fundraisers to earn the $700 for learning journeys, graduation, culinary delights, and other events that involve money. I hope we reach our goal.
Yesterday our class went to Lahaina Sound Studio. We sang a song written by Steve Grimes called "Where in the World are the Whales." It was a fun experience and it was my first time in a recording studio. We were there for and hour and a half. There were so many buttons and knobs, it felt like I was in a spaceship. The owner, Lynn Peterson, was really kind to let us sing in his studio and he even brought us water . At the end, the song sounded really good; all of us were really proud. I would totally go the studio again.
Today after assembly our class found out that Kupuna Kaina is in the hospital. She is our wonderful friend and teacher who has so far taught us about Hawaiian protocol and the true meaning of Aloha. I was so shocked. I was looking forward for her to continue her lessons. We all made get well cards and Ms. Enriquez will visit her in the hospital and give her our beautiful cards. I really hope she gets better quickly. : )
Yesterday we had our first student council meeting and it went very well. We all had great ideas for fun school activities. Erin and Chanel had the most ideas. They thought of free dress days that are themed. I really like that idea. I cant wait for all the fun activit
