MAHALO
from 5th Grade A4 students for considering sending your comments to support our project to stop endangered ‘Opea’pea’ (Hawaiian
hoary bats) from being killed by wind turbines by having people email support
for any or all of these
Solutions:
1 Stop the
turbines at night when the bats fly.
2 Stop the
turbines completely until a way to stop killing bats is put in place.
3 Companies that
own the wind turbines pay for bat habitat and research.
More than 60
opea'pea' have been killed by wind turbines on the North Shore of Oahu over the
last few years. Way more bats have been killed than expected. The wind turbines
companies did not have permission to kill this many bats. Now they are
asking the federal government for permission to kill more! We say “NO!”.
Research is
needed on the population of bats on each island. If we do not know how many
bats there are, how do we know what impact killing more will have?
The Hawaii
Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is taking comments from the
public until December 24th 2018, at Glenn.M.Metzler@hawaii.gov regarding
their decision to allow more bats to be killed or not by turbines. Please email
Glenn. He is waiting to hear from you!

The 25th ID has posted a PSA on their
Social Media pages regarding the Division Run which is scheduled for Monday,
Dec. 17 from 6:30a-7:45a on Schofield. Students may be tardy to school on this
day. BUT DO NOT NEED TARDY SLIP, JUST GO
TO CLASS., due to roving road closures because of the run. Please note that the
roads will not be closed entirely from
6:30a-7:45a - portions of the route will be closed at different times to
accommodate the runners. According to Public Affairs, the Soldiers should be on
Waianae Ave between 6:45a-6:55a and then again from 7:20a-7:25a, which is where
the majority of the affected bus stops are located.
Please note that the Kalakaua CC bus pick up may be affected even though it is
not located in the route. Because of the road closure on Kolekole, buses may be
late getting to Kalakaua CC.
The route will follow from Cadet Sheridan past the Post Exchange and Main Post
Chapel to Williston Ave to Grimes Street, passing near the Soldier Support
Center. From there it will proceed from Ayres Ave to Waianae Ave, passing 3rd
BCT, and the Tropic Lightning Museum, to 2nd BCT at Watts Fields and Devol
Street. From there the route will follow Foote Ave past the Post Office to
Mathews Ave and wind around to Humphreys Road. Finally, the route will follow
Kolekole Ave, returning to Cadet Sheridan Road and Weyand Field.

Get
a healthy start to the new year by joining our Walking School Bus on the first
day back to school, January 9, 2019. A
walking school bus is an organized walk to school with identified walking
routes, supported with adult chaperones and helps reduce traffic in school
areas. These walking activities promote
healthy habits and exercising daily to keep our kids heart healthy. It is a
safe walk and connects kids to their neighborhoods. We will again leave from 2 locations:
Stoneman field and behind the chapel.
Gather and sign in at 7:15 and start walking at 7:30. We will have some PT exercises while we
gather everyone to go. Please eat
breakfast at home before joining us. We
