LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

11/4-18: LINKS OF THANKS(GIVING)!

We do a LOT of class competitions at Moanalua which yield great results:  a fun Homecoming, spirited games and contests, charity drives that raise lots of money or whatever is being collected.  But sometimes, it is also good to have an activity that brings the whole school together, and that is the intent behind "Links of Thanks!"  The activity is simple.  Write a note of anything for which you are thankful on a construction paper slip, then the homeroom class links the slips together to form a chain.  Chains are brought back to the SA Room where the officers link all the chains together.  It took a long time to prepare, cutting 4000+ links (2 per person), but we ultimately hope to create a long paper chain to display before Thanksgiving.  We are also taking bets to see how long the chain will be by the due date, November 18, but if it is as successful for the remaining two weeks as it was just the first day, it will be a pretty long chain!.
