Yoshida Wins 7th Grade Eddie Aikau Essay Contest
When asked about her essay being picked from
hundreds as the winner of the Eddie Aikau Essay Contest, KMS 7th
grader Alyssa Yoshida was extremely grateful..."I was
excited...there are so many students across the state who turned
in essays...I never thought it would win." But win it did.
Alyssa along with the other students who entered the contest had
to answer how Eddie’s actions reflected the Hawaiian values of
KOKUA (to help) and KAHIAU (to give generously with the heart,
without expecting anything in return) and how these values
inspired your actions and how they influenced your decision of who
to help, when you can't help everyone. "I just did my best on the
assignment Mrs. Mishima gave me, who knew it would get picked to
win." With her win, Alyssa won
a spot at the Essay Awards ceremony and luncheon that will be held
on Saturday March 17th at the Elks Club in Waikiki.
Joining Alyssa at the luncheon will also be 7th grade student
Blake Urada who was honored with 1of 2 Honorable Mention wins.
Their teacher, Mrs. Mishima, was beaming with pride as two of her
students brought home prizes to KMS. Alyssa, Blake, and Mrs.
Mishima, from all the students and staff here at KMS we are so
proud of you as you showed great Warrior Pride! Go Warriors!
