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.

8/31: OKINAWAN FESTIVAL CLOSES OUT ACTIVITIES FOR AUGUST!

Ready to get to work near the volunteer booth!

These vendors sure have a lot of stuff!

Is this how we're supposed to wear these?

That's not REALLY cat litter, is it?

Selena assists a fair goer!
Haisai!  As the first month of school comes to an end, we spent the morning at the annual Okinawan Festival at Kapiolani Park.  Our jobs have varied in the past from manning game booths, to packing andagi, to taking surveys.  This year, we were tasked with helping vendors unload and assisting elderly passengers off the shuttle buses.  Aside from a couple of passing rain clouds, it was a beautiful day to be at the park experiencing Okinawan culture, music and food.  Now, let's get some chanpuru and pig's feet soup!!!  Mmmmmmm!
