History of Helping Others

S tudents are not the only ones who graduate from 'Iolani. Teachers gradu- ate, too. In St. Alban's Chapel this past May, the school's faculty and staff gathered as Dr. Timothy Cottrell presented seven teachers with retirement gifts, and colleagues bid congratulations and farewell to longtime friends. Had Dalton Sue really been teaching at 'Iolani for 37 years? You'd never know because of his youthful outlook and elan. Pamela Shim had been at 'Iolani for 32 years. Patsy Asato for 28; David Caldwell for 23; Tennye Cabrera for 22; Susan Okino for 17, and Bob Kane for 4. Several retirees taught at other schools or had diverse first careers before 'Iolani. Teammates paid tribute by sharing recollections, praise and tearful "good- byes." Librarian Linda Reser, who celebrated 30 years of service, noted she will miss eating lunch with the now retired handful of Lower School faculty and that third grade teachers Shim and Okino loved their jobs so much that they start as early as summer to plan for Halloween. The gathering sparked sentiments that come with acknowledging a crossroads in life and how fast time flies.

Dr. Cottrell also recog-

nized others for their years of service, as lei and gifts were bestowed: 30 Year Awards to teachers Cate Waidyatilleka,

Bertha Tomiyasu, Holly

Chung and librarian Linda

Reser; 20 Year Awards to

teachers Sara Finnemore, Joe

Guillou, Cathy Pettit, Ivan

Suzuki '89, media services

staff Garry Chun '80 and director of admission Raquel Leong; 10 Year Awards to teachers Luz-Marina Bernard, Mark Brasher, Tom Robinson, Reid Sagawa '89, office staff Carrie Ohira, Joline O'Leary, trainer Louise Inafuku, physical plant staff Evan Roberts '97, Vinh Lu and Joie Tabladillo, and nurse Shannon Yonamine. So many of us begin thinking we will stay at 'Iolani for just a few years be- cause we are young and early in our careers, then before we know, one year blends into the next, and we are celebrating 20th or 30th anniversaries. Colleagues are connected by mutual admiration and respect grounded in the mission of 'Iolani. Here, the definition of retirement - to "withdraw" - doesn't apply. Retirees remain beloved members of the school community; many return as volunteers, substitute teachers or, like Ann Yoneshige on this

Bulletin's cover, as KA'I tutors.

The 'Iolani day does not end when the last school bell rings. We work together. We play together. We even grow old together. Yes, we miss seeing retirees on a day-to-day basis, but are happy they have time for new adventures, travel, and play, or to sit and read in a cafe all day long if they want. As author Richard Bach wrote in his novel Illusions: "A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."

At 'Iolani, farewell is not final.

www.iolani.orgON MAY 2, exactly a month shy of his graduation from 'Iolani School, senior class president Nathan Hue '18 passion- ately delivered the homily during a chapel service for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. The Son of 'Iolani, headed to the University of Southern

California on a full-ride Trustee Scholarship, exhorted stu-dents to remain curious, try new things, appreciate the abun-

dance of opportunities that lie ahead and be forever grateful to those who make it possible. Fittingly, Nathan's homily followed a reading from the Gospel of Matthew centered on the Parable of the Sower. The seeds he sowed that morning will plant deep and grow strong.

A current pilot program under the Citizen Science umbrella is helping local public schools develop modern genomics programs akin to what we o?er our students at 'Iolani. Many steps we take behind the scenes indirectly support community service, such as providing professional development for teachers and equipping them with advanced technology, including a nanopore DNA sequencer and bioinformatics computer. All these steps demonstrate 'Iolani's commitment to education that reaches out to the community.

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Our school's mission states that 'Iolani is

committed to "An education which re?ects its Episcopal Church heritage and provides a spiritual foundation for the development of personal values and moral integrity." ?is issue of the 'Iolani School Bulletin brings to mind Matthew 25:35-40. At the Last Judgment, God tells the righteous why they will inherit the kingdom: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." ?en the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?" ?e King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Willing service to others, whether they are

teammates, schoolmates, or fellow citizens, has been a core value since 'Iolani School's inception more than 150 years ago. Since the time of Father Bray, the One Team spirit has pervaded all we endeavor to do. However, the spirit of unsel?sh consideration goes beyond sports. 'Iolani alumni lead and enrich their communities, and the programs of the school continue to evolve to ful?ll our mission of service. In recent years, our chapel has forged partnerships between 'Iolani and non-pro?t organizations such as Family Promise, which supports homeless families in transition. Two new classes have been added to our Religion Department: Critical Service Learning and Religion and Social Justice. Students in Critical Service Learning have gained insight and experience by working with service organizations such as Lanakila Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, St. Elizabeth's Breakfast for the Homeless, the Institute for Human Services, and Youth Outreach. In the fall of 2015, our Religion and

Social Justice class helped to start the KA'I Keiki class in Pālolo Valley. Last year's class organized and hosted

Refugee Awareness Week.

Our KA'I and Citizen Science programs already

support the education of thousands of students and hundreds of teachers in the public schools of our ahupua'a, and the programs are growing. A current pilot program under the Citizen Science umbrella is helping local public schools develop modern genomics programs akin to what we o?er our students at 'Iolani. Many steps we take behind the scenes indirectly support community service, such as providing professional development for teachers and equipping them with advanced technology, including a nanopore DNA sequencer and bioinformatics computer. All these steps demonstrate 'Iolani's commitment to education that reaches out to the community.

We have a fundamental institutional mission to

be a leader in the betterment of our community and to create opportunities for 'Iolani students to make an authentic positive di?erence. As it has been in the past, this charge vibrantly comes to life each and every year at 'Iolani School.
