Part II: School Profile
I. INTRODUCTION
Leone Frank E. Midkiff Elementary School (LMES), “Home of the Cubs” is in the Western
District of American Samoa and is 8.18 miles from the airport. This school is in a suburban area,
consisting of a mixture of working and home making families. LMES is dedicated and
committed to educating young pupils from the villages of Leone, Malaeloa, Vailoatai, Taputimu
and Lepuapua of the main island of Tutuila, PagoPago, American Samoa.
LMES was established in January of 1957 and named after Frank Elbert Midkiff, an educator
and civic leader who served as High Commissioner of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands
in 1953 to 1954. LMES added a couple of new buildings to its school site since 1988 extending
its campus. Now the school consists of two campuses separated by a road. There is an upper
campus that serves students of grades six to grade eight with its own cafeteria and lavatories. The lower campus serves Kindergarten to grade 5 and it houses the main office, library, and
computer lab.

LEONE STREAMS
A family from Cook Islands traveled to Leone.
They traded their goods for stone tools.The couple went to gather stones and
left their two sons to wait with a sailor.The sons slept and the sailor wandered
off to follow the smoke of the cooked umu.
The two sons went searching for the parents at different directions – PunaMai to the west of the Leafu stream and Puna Loa to the east.
The parents went home with the stone tools then went back to search for their sons when they did not return.

LEONE STREAMS
They found only water springs that sang like a weeping child
In an attempt to soothe the weeping sons, the mother called out
But the voices comforted the parents and told them that they would remain in Leone to mark their first journey to Samoa and to help the people appreciate their surrounding resources
The parents returned to their homeland but will always return to Leone for more stones knowing their sons are here.
