A total of 184 public schools are on the state Department of Education's 2006 "SAT Honor Roll" for having at least one tested grade level that met or exceeded the national average in both math and reading assessments of the Stanford Achievement Test.

To find out which schools met the honor roll standards, go to the DOE Web site, http://doe.k12.hi.us, for a complete listing.

This year, the SAT was taken by all students in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 at 279 public schools. In order to reach the SAT Honor Roll level, at least 77 percent of all the students at a school must score average or above.

STUDENTS HELP DESIGN BOUNCER

Five creative students from Pearl Harbor Kai Elementary School will see the fruits of their labors unveiled today at the school's annual Family Fun Fair from 2 to 5:30 p.m., when students enjoy a new kids' bouncer called Mt. Mayhem that the students helped design.

Students from the 2004-05 year in the gifted and talented program in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades worked with Woody Moore of Moore's Enterprises to develop a bouncer shaped like a volcano surrounded by palm trees.

"It's such a neat project for the kids to see their ideas come to life," said Cathy Callejo, school curriculum coordinator, who spearheaded the project with Moore.

Moore footed the bill and will include the new student-designed bouncer as part of his rental business.

The five youngsters who helped design the bouncer are Paul Theberge, Armaine Tom-acder, Leilani Facun, Jordan Ines and Jihunette Liwanag.
