Thank You Yama’s Roofing

This October while our students were pounding the pavement at our 26^th annual Walk-a-lap at Shipman Park, Yama’s Roofing was busy at work pounding the roof on the Watumull building! 

Roofers spent a blazin’ hot Friday and Saturday removing the old roof and replacing it with a new roof!  This project has been long awaited as new leaks have popped up with every heavy rain.  

 Each year Yama’s Roofing, as part of its “Topping Off” program offers free labor to a non-profit organization that expresses a dire need for a new roof.  This year, we were selected to receive this service.  The free labor along with a generous donation that covered all roofing material expense means MWS received this roof at no cost!

 It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a whole community to sustain a school!  Thank you Yama’s Roofing for supporting our school and inspiring us with your community spirit!

This summer we have continued our improvements to the MWS Memorial garden.  Before the end of the school year we had a large area cleared out of most of the weed trees.  With the help of the lower grades during the gardening classes we planted a few fruit trees and some cover crops to begin taking back the land. This includes some banana trees, a bread fruit tree, star fruit tree, Jabotacaba, a tangerine tree and a Lychee tree.

We would like to recognize Brooks & Lumjuan Addison of Aloha Farms for their generous donation of fruit trees to MWS!

In July some wonderful volunteers got together and removed much of
wild growth in the memorial garden area.  We then took the chipped wood from the weed trees and mulched around our new plants and made trails.  Including a circle area that will be a lovely place to sit and watch the children play in the school grass area.

We just need to add a bit of color, keep the weeds down and add two bench seats for our sitting area.

Come take a look and welcome all of our new plants!
