JPO Competition





Hailey had her JPO Competition (Junior Police Officer) last Thursday in Waikiki, and it was really exciting! They had over 40 schools participate and about 1400 students involved. They even had the Chief of Police there to congratulate the kids. Hailey's school was second to last, so we got to watch the other schools in action while we waited. They had to do four drills, each in phases. As a Lieutenant of the Police department yelled out each phase, the kids had to know the drill, and be in "perfect" synchronization with one another. Hailey did very well. Even though her group was not all in line with one another, the lowest possible score the judges were giving out was a 98%. Overall the kids practiced hard and tried their very best, and that definitely deserves an A+!
