Stand tall, be proud, Thy sons and daughters, Children born to build a better life, We have come to thee, o Hookena, Lead us with thy guiding light E nn i loko ou, n ka ikaika, E imi i n pahuk a me n uhane, Hiki no oe e hilinai n mea okoa, Hooilina i ka waiwai oilina TRANSLATION: Look into yourself for the strength To achieve your goals and dreams You can make a difference You have inherited a rich inheritance

Waiwai Oilina, which is translated as Rich Inheritance, was written by Jewett Spencer, a longtime member of the faculty at Hookena Elementary School. Written in both English and lelo Hawaii, it currently serves as the first and only alma mater. This mele encourages students to look within themselves for the strength to achieve their goals and dreams, and that by doing so, they can make a difference. The song invokes a spirit of courage and determination in students, staff, alumni and all those associated with the school. The mele was adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2012 to act as a symbol of the united work of the entire organization.

Since its founding in 1931, Hookena Elementary School has been the model of educational excellence in the State of Hawaii. Nestled on the southwestern slopes of Mauna Loa; the eighty-one year old campus has opened its doors to thousands of students from our local community, and ignited in them a passion to learn and to succeed. And, yet, after such a long history, the school has not lost its ability to develop and equip the future leaders and society-builders of Hawaii and the world. With Joyce K. Crisafi at the helm, as administrator, the faculty and staff continue to strive to enable our students to realize their own innate potential and to utilize their limitless ability to achieve all of their dreams and goals. Hookena has a learning environment that attempts to create more than just a future workforce. The mission and philosophy of Hookena School is to develop strong individuals who will make a difference in their respective communities and effectively change society. In order to achieve this mission and philosophy, the school needs the participation of parents, former students and community members. The Hookena Elementary School PTO continues to act as both a financial resource and as the schools social network and advocate in the community.

VISION STATEMENT All students enrolled in our school will meet academic standards; make responsible choices; and, be prepared for middle school, high school, college and other post-secondary education. MISSION STATEMENT To achieve this vision, Hookena will provide standards-based academic education in a nurturing environment; use educational technology to support learning; broaden horizons through community involvement and service learning; and, require parent involvement in education of children. GENERAL LEARNER OUTCOMES 1. Self-Directed Learner 2. Community Contributor 3. Complex Thinker

Reestablished in 2009 and incorporated in 2011, the organization has had a long history in the school spanning several decades. Because of the support and hard work of its members and community partners, the organization has been able to raise nearly $50,000 for technology, curricular resources, extracurricular activities, infrastructure, and more.
The organization, governed by a five-member Board of Directors, is committed to continuing this work to support the school.

STRATEGIC GOALS
The Hookena Elementary School PTO will better represent the interests of the school and community by serving as its main social advocate by: 1) Continuing to bring parents and community members together with the faculty and staff of the school to work together in finding solutions to the many challenges we face; 2) Working with governmental and nongovernmental agencies and organizations who will support our organization financially and socially in order to carry out our mission and objectives; 3) Better informing parents and community members of current organizational and school initiatives by increasing and improving communication through printed and electronic means; 4) Increasing parental involvement at PTO meetings by changing the format and style of such meetings;

OUR MISSION
The mission of the Hookena Elementary School PTO, Incorporated, is to support the students of Hookena Elementary School by providing educational and personal enrichment, and by encouraging the cooperative interaction of parents, teachers and the community.

PTO OBJECTIVES
The PTO shall provide financial support to the school through organized fundraisers, events and campaigns, thus enabling the school to provide needed programs, supplies, resources and technology to enhance curricular and extracurricular activities for students. The PTO shall be a social resource by establishing a network of students, parents, administration, faculty, staff and community where ideas, expectations, accomplishments and needs may be communicated through an open forum.

5) Increasing parent volunteerism by better articulating the benefits of such involvement for the parents and for their students.
6) Creating a better, more efficient organization with greater accountability that members would be willing to oversee as future elected members of the Board of Directors.

The Hookena Elementary School PTO has adopted a new logo that centers on a theme of organizational unity. It also focuses on the culture and traditions of the Hawaiian people, by bringing in unique Hawaiian elements and symbols. KALO: To the Hawaiian people, kalo or taro is treasured because of its spiritual, as well as nutritional, value. Kalo is believed to be the first Hawaiian, who was stillborn. Buried, he became the taro and has continued to feed and nourish the people of these islands. Kalo can also be used to represent the relationship between a parent and a child, or a teacher and a student. If the main taro is not healthy or spiritually corrupted, so too will the offspring (oh). With the mindset that our organization is the main taro, if we work together and do our best to fulfill our mission and objectives, we will produce good results and our children will benefit. KAHIKOLU: The Trinitarian triangle (three-joined triangles) is a special symbol of the Hawaiian people. It represents the unity of akua (which can mean God, or more traditionally, the united functions of the universe), kane (man, represented by the god of war Kkailimoku), and wahine (woman, represented by the goddess of the moon Hina). According to legend, Kkailimoku was the only god who chose to live as a man. According to societal norms, a mans greatest responsibility is to care for his family. In legend, during a drought, Kkailimoku sacrificed his human life by becoming the ulu, or breadfruit tree, to feed his family. In so, he is used to represent man. Hina was born a woman on the island of Molokai. According to Hawaiian tradition, she is described as the perfect woman externally and internally beautiful, intelligent and determined. Often chased by men, she soon becomes tired of the attention, and flees to the moon where she becomes its goddess. MANAOIO, MANAOLANA, ALOHA: This saying is attributed to 1 Corinthians 13:13 where it says In faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Of course, this saying has spiritually and culturally guided the people of Hawaii. Hawaiians are a people of faith (manaoio), who share hope (manaolana), and who embrace all people in love (aloha).

1931 and 2011: 1931 is the year that the current campus of Hookena Elementary School was officially established, according to records held by the Department of Education. However, the name Hookena School is much older and dates back to an unknown date. 2011 is the year out organization was incorporated by the State of Hawaii. However, our organization has a history that extends back several decades.
KKULU I N ALII: This is the new motto of the organization, which means, Building up the alii. This motto truly represents the mission of our organization which is to develop and equip the students of our beloved school the home of the alii.

reinstating the organizations tax-exempt status pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code through Parent Booster USA (our legal representatives); creating a new non-profit corporation with the State of Hawaii called the Hookena Elementary School PTO; and, approving a revision of the Articles and Bylaws;

Over the next two years, there will be significant changes. With the PTO no longer in charge of organizing the Golf Tournament, and Hoolaulea in question, I am expecting our revenue numbers to drop significantly. However, our mission is not solely financial, and weve already begun moving the organization in a new direction. Aloha pumehana e n ohana o Hookena. Pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (1) of the Articles and Bylaws (Ed. 2011) and Section 3, Rule 8 of the Administrative Rules, it is my great honor and privilege to submit the PTOs Annual Report for the fiscal year 2011-12. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of the wonderful people who have made this year a success. This includes the many parents, faculty, staff, students and community members who have given so much of their time, resources and effort to support the organizations initiatives throughout the year. Mahalo to you all! Regarding our financial mission, weve done extremely well. This year alone, we raised $16,962 for technology, curricular and extracurricular programs and activities, infrastructure and more. This surpasses our revenue intake from the fiscal year 2010-11 by 15%. This is a great accomplishment for the organization. These funds were raised through private donations and through our two annual events Golf Tournament and May Day Hoolaulea. Since August 2011, several organizational developments have occurred by action of the Board of Directors, including: At the beginning of my first year as President and Chief Executive Officer, the PTO needed to improve as a social network between the home and the school, and, as the schools social advocate in the community. In fact, the PTO, at that time, didnt even have a standardized email where parents could contact the organization.

Since then, the Board of Directors has been working diligently to finally bring the PTO into the twenty-first century, by creating social outreach through its own website, Facebook, Twitter, Google-plus, and more. And, in February, the PTO launched Mlamalama, a bi-monthly newsletter. And, in May, the organization began collecting online donations through a program called We Pay.
All these efforts were done in order to connect parents to the school on a greater level, by making the organization more accessible. Of course, in this regard, there is much more to do. Whatever the organization looks like in the future, the mission will still be the same: supporting the education of students at Hookena Elementary School. And, the PTO will do whatever necessary to carry out such a noble mission. Mahalo for your support. We look forward to working with you in the years to come. O wau iho n, me ke oiaio:

Reality is harsh. It can be cruel and ugly. Yet no matter how much we grieve over our environment and circumstances, nothing will change. What is important is not to be defeated, to forge ahead bravely. If we do this, a path will open before us. Dr. Daisaku Ikeda Philosopher & Teacher

Our organization and our school are no strangers to challenges. In 2009, the state of education in Hawaii was horrendous, as schools throughout the state faced major budget cuts and the furloughing of public employees including teachers, aides, administrators, custodians, etc. The infamous Furlough Fridays was a major challenge as students were forced to stay home from school because teachers were not allowed to go to work cutting in to educational time. Hookena Elementary School, like many other schools, had to face those challenges and during that time, the Parent-Teacher Organization stood up like never before to bring the community together and support our school. However, it was during this time that the school realized one of its greatest accomplishments. In the year following, Hookena was named one of fifteen distinguished schools in the State of Hawaii the only school from the island of Hawaii. That year, Hookena ranked as the #1 public element ary schools on the island, despite years of attacks from outsiders who at one time stated that students from Hookena could not succeed. In SY2011-12, the state of education has only slightly improved and remains in disrepair; with the Department of Education in dire need of restructuring. The lack of funding affects our local schools with our school forced to cut what the organization considers essential services and employees in upcoming fiscal years. This past year, the organization supported the school in paying for needed technology, programs, activities, in order for the school to avoid making cuts to positions that otherwise would have been terminated. Because of economic challenges, the number of direct financial contributions fell drastically. With this decline in revenue, we also needed to maintain fiscal prudence which at the same time supporting the schools many educational and our own operational needs. And, yet, with a budget of only $5,000, and many challenges, this fiscal year was our highest-grossing year ever in our organizations history. Still though, many changes needed to be made, including the way we do business. These changes are outlined in our fiscal vision and strategic plan.

Because of the challenges we faced as an organization in the past fiscal year, the new Board of Directors set three different goals each one meant to help the organization overcome a specific hurdle it faced. The Board of Directors understood that if it were to meet these goals, they needed to be extremely realistic. If the organization didnt meet them by the end of the year, it would be impossible for the organization to focus on other challenges that needed to be addressed in the upcoming fiscal year. GOAL #1: Resolve the organizations issues pertaining to taxexemption from the IRS and create a new corporate system that allowed greater efficiency to ensure that no such challenges could resurface in the future. At this time, the IRS has revoked the organizations tax-exempt status due to the unintended negligence of previous PTO administrations.

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done. Ralph Lauren Fashion Designer and Business Executive

GOAL #2: Bring the PTO into the twenty-first century by improving the organizations accessibility to the community through clearer and faster school-home communication, streamlining organizational services that allowed greater fiscal accountability, and through further development of the organizations website, email and social networks.
GOAL #3: Develop greater fundraising strategies and improve current fundraisers to reap greater revenue intake which will in turn better allow the organization to support the education of students. The goal of the organization for the fiscal year 2011-12 was to surpass the revenue intake for the previous fiscal year which totaled $15,000. This goal is a part of the $50,000 three-year capital improvements campaign goal.

In June 2011, the Executive Council was informed by our legal representatives (Pfau Englund Non-Profit Law/Parent Booster USA) that the tax-exempt status of the organization has been revoked by the IRS in 2008, due to a failure of the council in submitting the required Form 990N. However, the IRS was able to recover all forms filed by the organization.

The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth. John F. Kennedy, Sr. 35 President of the United States of America
th

It is the understanding of the current PTO administration, that because of the unintended negligence of a previous Executive council to file the annual report to the State of Hawaii, the corporation registered as the Hookena School PTO was administratively dissolved by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Pursuant to law, the IRS also recognized the dissolution of the corporation and revoked the tax-exempt status of the organization. Succeeding PTO councils continued to operate the organization without knowledge that such dissolution has occurred.
In August 2011, the Executive Council consisting of Wryen Kiwaha, Andy Louis, Wendy Baez and Lorraine Medeiros began working with Parent Booster USA to reinstate our non-profit tax-exempt status with the IRS; and, independently create a new corporation under the name Hookena Elementary School PTO. On August 11, 2011, the members of the Executive Council completed and signed the Articles of Incorporation, which was filed with the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. On August 15, 2011, the State of Hawaii officially filed the Articles of Incorporation, and the organization was officially incorporate. The Articles of Incorporation were later amended on September 1, 2011, to enter additional wording required by the IRS. On August 28, 2011, the IRS issued a determination letter, providing us with a new Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN: 45-3087924. On September 26, 2011, Sandra Pfau Englund a legal representative of the organization filed on our behalf Form 1023, the Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service. As required by incorporation, a business or non-profit entity must file for a General Excise Tax license to carry out business in the State of Hawaii. And, non-profit organizations that further achieve their mission and vision through fundraising, must also file for a GET exemption. In March, the General Excise Tax license was issued to the organization, and exemption was granted to the PTO on a conditional basis. The PTO administration is currently working on gaining full exemption. Such matters are expected to be resolved by the end of the fiscal year.

On September 1, 2011, the new corporation officially met for the first time at its General Membership Meeting for Budget and Development. Among the items on the agenda, was approving a revision of the Articles and Bylaws. This revision was drafted in a collaborative effort of the Executive Council through discussion and review of the 2012 revision of the Bylaws over a period of one month.

The purpose of the revision pertained to incorporation. The 2010 revision, which was drafted by Wryen Kiwaha, and approved in May 2012, reflected the PTOs status as an unincorporated association of faculty, staff, parents and community members. Now, with incorporation, the Articles and Bylaws needed to reflect that change of status, and include many provisions required of a corporation.
Among the changes to the Articles and Bylaws, the Executive Council officially became the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors consists of all four elected officers President, Vice President, Secretary and treasurer and, as an ex-officio member, the Principal, or his/her designated representative. This further strengthens the relationship and communication between the corporate administration and the school administration, which in previous years, was non-existent. The organization changed the number and designation of general membership meetings. According to the current bylaws, the organization now is required to meet only three times a year in September, for budget and development; in January, for a mid-year review; and, in May, for the election of new officers and full financial review. Also the PTO added a new type of meeting planning meetings, where the membership may meet to plan and organize its fundraisers without going through the formalities associated with a general or special meeting. The new bylaws also give the Treasurer the authority to expend up to $1,000 without approval from the membership, provided that the treasurer is required to inform the Board prior to making such expenditure, and then report such expense to the full membership at a general, planning or special meeting. Prior to this change, any expense needed to be approved by the membership making it difficult for the Treasurer to pay time-sensitive, organizational expenses. While we believe in one community, and share an important vision that moves our keiki forward, it is important that the organization makes a clear distinction between the school and the PTO. And, we believe that the PTO has accomplished that. We are an independent organization, whose members make all decisions pertaining to the affairs of the organization; and, which is dedicated to supporting the school and our community.

In order to succeed, your desire for success needs to be greater than your fear of failure. Dr. William Bill Cosby Comedian, Actor, Teacher

Prior to 2010, the PTO has no means of communication with parents besides the Parent Bulletin. The PTO didnt even have its own standardized email address. Immediately, the Board of Directors began to develop a social media and electronic communications plan to reach out to parents in a different way. In August 2010, the organization created its own website for the first time through a service created by Microsoft office Small Business. This service allowed parents and staff to stay updated with the PTOs calendars, receive news updates from the Board about PTO meetings or events, or contact the Board directly through a messaging app. On April 30, 2010, Microsoft Office Small business transitioned to a costlier program that did not meet the needs of the organization. On May 2, 2012, the PTO Board created a new website through Wordpress an online blogging community that now hosts our personalized website for a low cost. This new website is now fully operational at www.hookenapto.com. On January 2, 2011, the PTO expanded its social network outreach by creating accounts on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, which are slowly but steadily growing in followers. These were created as another means of communication by which parents, staff, students and other community supporters could access the organization. Our Facebook page saw its greatest growth in followers immediately after the May Day Hoolaulea was held on Friday, May 4, 2012. Also, beginning May 22, 2012, the organization can now collect donation online through a program called We-pay. We-pay collects all funds donated by credit/debit card and where directed by the campaign organizer (in this case the President or Treasurer) sends funds by money order, check or by direct deposit into our organizations bank account. We -pay deducts 6% from each donation as a program fee. These continuing efforts by the Board of Directors have made the PTO much more accessible to our members especially in a society where parents, teachers and staff have less time to devote to the organization because of work, home and community schedules. We do need to further develop and improve our outreach, and the Board will continue to work towards that.

But communication is twosided; vital and profound communication makes demands also on those who are to receive it of genuine effort to receive what is being communicated.

Since 2008, the State of Hawaii has continued to make millions in cuts to the budget of the Department of Education affecting the amount of money each school receives annually. Principals throughout the state have been forced to cut educational programs, and worse, faculty and staff positions. Our school, too, is no stranger to such changes and difficulties. At the beginning of the 2010/11 school year, the Board of Directors (then styled Executive Council) met at its first general membership meeting of the year where the principal identified the needs of the school of which the main need was computers/technology. Immediately, the PTO created a $20,000 Capital Improvements Campaign to be fulfilled over a two-year period. When the goal was exceeded at the beginning of the 2011/12 school year, the Board of Directors was created at $50,000 campaign over a three-year period and then to a $100,000 campaign over a 3-year period. So far, through the efforts of the organization, the school raised $17,000, which is 34% of the current campaign goal. The Board will continue its efforts towards reaching our goal by the end of the fiscal year 2013/14.

GOLF TOURNAMENT At the beginning of June 2011, the Board of Directors immediately began organizing the tournament, with the desire to exceed $8,000 raised from the previous tournament. Information and registration packets were sent out to the community and were available at the Kona country Club. Also, the Board began soliciting sponsorships and prize donations. The PTO held its 4th Annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 27, 2011, at the Kona Country Club in Keauhou. In total, 68 golfers registered to play the tournament. This number alone raised the organization $3,400, not including the money raised from the purchase of $20 mulligans. In total, our gross profit, including registration, mulligans and hole sponsorships, the organization raised $12,000 surpassing the previous fundraising total of $8,800 by 33%. A total of $8,800.04 was donated to the school. MAY DAY HOOLAULEA When the school returned from winter intercession, the organization met on January 19, 2012, when the Board began planning the May Day Hoolaulea. An extensive discussion took place amongst members, and by the end of the meeting, the music, menu and booths have been decided, leaving the Board to begin carrying out the plan. By Thursday, May 3, 2012, everything was going according to plan. The tents and booths have been set up by the staff; donations, except for baked goods, had been received and were being priced; and, volunteer lists had been prepared and were being reviewed by the Board of Directors. On Friday, May 4, 2012, the PTO hosted the Hoolaulea, immediately following the May Day program. The concession booth sold a local plate lunch (sweet & sour spareribs, rice, macaroni salad, cake & drink), vegetarian plate and chili bowls. The Country Store sold plants, baked goods, kitchenware, picnic items, arts and crafts, and more. And, the booths were busy with kids lining up to play and win prizes. The entertainment was wonderful with Maka Gallinger performing first; followed by Micah Deaguiar and Ensan Kawaauhau. The event was a success. Even when the rain started falling at around 1:30 p.m., the program continued with guests making last-minute stops to the Country Store and musicians continuing to perform until 2:00 p.m. In total, the PTO raised $4,000. This money will be carried over to the next year to fund our annual appropriations budget which includes money for school programs and donations to community organizations like the Society for Konas Art and Education (SKEA).
