Committee Reports:

a. Shirts
Yvonne presented the final T-shirt designs. She displayed both gold and purple colored shirts and suggested that two shirts be produced. This would give more options for students to wear.

It was also decided that the word "Ahuimanu" be displayed on front above the Koolau Mountains. The abbreviation "Elem." will be taken out. The school's logo will be displayed on the back of the shirt.

j. Playground
j. Playground - Wayne will be taking over Playground activities from outgoing member - David Lau. He praised David for an excellent job in handling both the middle playground and fitness center. Wayne mentioned that without David's expertise as an engineer coupled with his perserverance and determination, the playground and fitness center would've taken a lot longer to complete. David reported that the Eagle Scout candidate will be putting in the tether ball poles in early July. Locations of poles to be discussed with Mrs. Duca.

k. Faculty
None

l. Administration
Bob Lockyer gave his insights and expectations for the new school year. He thanked the Ohana for allowing Kahea to spearhead the wog-a-thon. The wog-a-thon proceeds of $XX.XX, combined with funding from other sources allowed Ahuimanu Elementary to purchased the new math books. Bob shared that math has been taking a back seat to other disciplines and now it is time to place the same importance and emphasis on the math program. The new math books are expected to have a program life of approximately 5 years and will be servicing grades K through 6.

Bob also touched upon the importance of having a goal whenever a fundraiser is being held. This allows for more parental embrace and passion for the fundraising effort because a specific and worthwhile goal is in mind.

He also discussed the need for obtaining a new copier. The current lease agreement is no longer cost effective. Other school needs: replace 11 computers in the library due to obsolescence; obtain a software for on-line resources. Classroom computers will also need replacing soon.
