Four KIS band students participated in the Hawaii State Band Festival on February 9. It's the first time that all students earned medals for the solos and small ensembles they performed. Pictured left to right is Eva Manzulli, Alyssa Lawton, Cassie Frenzel, Noah Casey.

Stop by Mr. Ryan Kagami’s seventh grade science classroom and you might find students developing theoretical frameworks for the analysis and predictive understanding of microbial communities, or play acting as cells, or folding and creasing papers to create three-dimensional graphic organizers. In this exceptional teacher's classes, students quickly discover that in order to understand the world of science they have to become part of it. Mr. Kagami is received a Milken Teacher Of Promise award for his efforts.
