Walk Wise Hawaii Campaign

Show You Care, Be Aware!

Look Around, Put It Down!

Pedestrians being struck by a vehicle is the 5th leading cause of injury for children ages 5-19. Teens are twice as likely to be his by a car than any other age group. So join the campaign! Show You Care, Be Aware...Look Around, Put it Down!

* Traffic safety is a two way street. Before you go on your way, look both ways. Pedestrians, take charge of your own lives!

* Did you know that more than 80% of drivers admit to driving recklessly..changing

clothes, steering the wheel with foot, painting finger nails and shaving? Show You Care, Be Aware stresses the importance of being a safe pedestrian by making eye contact with the driver before crossing the street.

* Nearly one pedestrian injury happens every 8 minutes. Show You Care, Be Aware

strives to reduce this statistic. Join us and help save lives on the road by paying attention when you cross the street.

* Texting while walking slows your pace and decreases your ability to walk in a straight

line significantly. Distracted pedestrians are more likely to be injured. Make sure the driver can see you when you cross. Petextrians, put it down and look around!

* Every two hours a pedestrian dies while walking and texting..Stay Alivel... "Show you care. be aware. look around. put it down. Erase Petextrians!!”

* Be aware and show that you care!!! Think about what might happen next if you look at

that text. Every year more than 4,700 people are killed crossing the street while texting! So put that cellphone down and look around!

Deployment Group

 

 Is your parent on or will be on military deployment? 

Our school would like to extend our gratitude and best wishes to you and your family while your loved one is on military deployment. We would like to assist your family during this time and one way is to provide a safe group environment for your child to express any concerns or feelings they may experience. 

Our Primary School Adjustment Program (PSAP), will be starting their Deployment Group soon. 

What is deployment? Deployment is the movement of an individual or entire military unit to an overseas (international) location to accomplish a task or mission. The mission may be as routine as providing training or as dangerous as a war. 

Are you in the military?
Are you the primary care giver of this child?

                                          Is your duration of deployment at least 3 months?
 

      If the answer is YES to ALL of these questions, deployment group may be

        able to help your child adjust and cope during this trying time. 

Our deployment groups will meet once a week for thirty minutes where students can network, have fun activities and meet other students who are also adjusting during this transition.
