A Message from Mr. Lum to His First Promoted Class
To all the graduating 8th graders!
Thank you for a fun-filled year! Your dedication and hard work has paid off to take you from middle schoolers into your next chapter; high school. While talking with some audience members after the Aloha Concert, they had nothing but praises for you folks. From your beautiful tone during the performance, to your professionalism on the stage afterwards. You have no idea of the high expectation you have set for the years following you. Your legacy will always live on as my first graduating class at Kawananakoa Middle School.
I know that there were highs and lows both inside and outside of class. But in the end we bit the bullet, and persevered through many mistakes and failures. In the beginning, it was tough… Getting used to each other was a task that not everyone was comfortable with from the start. My favorite memories with you folks will always be at band camp, when I truly started to feel like YOUR band director. Thanks for the laughs, the embarrassing moments, and lastly- the teachable moments, for both you and I. Although I’m responsible for your education as your teacher this year, I learned the same amount from you as you did from me, if not more. And for that, I am forever in your debt.
Mahalo,
Mr. Lum
