Sacred Hearts Academy Hosts Hawaii Speech League Tournament

On Saturday, October 4, the first Hawaii Speech League tournament of the year was held at Sacred Hearts Academy. The Sacred Hearts "home team" did well! Junior Summer Tsukenjo earned a certificate for multiple superiors in the category of Program Reading. She spoke on the topic of motherhood, drawing from pieces by Erma Bombeck and Tina Fey. Freshman Serena Luttropp also participated in Program Reading, focusing on the topic of music, with pieces by Juhan Liiv and John Updike, among others.

Four Academy students spent the day as senators, participating in the category of Congressional Debate. Senior Zoe Sprott earned recognition for placing third in Student Congress. Senior Kristen Andres and freshman Jade Spallina ranked among the top eight in Congress, and rookie senator and senior Ka'ua Arelliano earned positive comments as well from judges.

Many Academy students volunteered to be timekeepers, and some of them have decided to attend the next tournament as participants. The November 1 tournament will be held at Kaiser High School.

Teachers Margy O’Kelly and Gaylen Isaacs and parent Sheri Luttropp served as judges for the day.  The speech team advisor is Jill Sprott.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell Visits Sacred Hearts Academy's American Government Class

The American Government class invited Mayor Kirk Caldwell to come and speak to them on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014. Mayor Caldwell won the election for mayor of Honolulu in 2012. Mayor Caldwell was asked to address topics such as the importance of government, issues facing Honolulu, and the upcoming November elections. Students were also allowed to prepare questions for the mayor and he will try to address as many of them as possible during our time together.

The audience brought up questions about Honolulu's rail project, the recent Board of Water Supply billing changes, homeless issues, affordable housing, and how they could be more involved and engaged with projects that the mayor is currently working on. 

The class will be completing a reflection assignment on their thoughts of today’s presentation. They will discuss any questions that may have arisen during the mayor's presentation, but did not have the opportunity to ask during the session. 

The American Government class is especially grateful to Randy Perreira, father of Katie Perreira ’15, for putting us in touch with the mayor’s office.
