Moanalua High School Student Association: September 2014

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.

9/29: MAHALO STAFF!

Another homecoming has come and gone but as always, we wish to thank our hard working staff for all of their support during this busy season! While not every teacher advised a committee or chaperoned an event, all were very supportive of all the activities from dress-up days to the parade! A very special thanks also to the cafeteria staff who put together a great chicken salad lunch! They still had to work while everyone else enjoyed lunch. You are much appreciated!

9/26: HIGHLANDS PAYS A VISIT!

Mr. Eric White, Highlands Intermediate SAC and his student council paid a visit to Moanalua to check out OSCAR scrapbooks and pick up tips on how it's done. Officers were very inquisitive and hopefully came away with some good ideas for their own book, which they promise to complete this year! We are looking forward to seeing their finished product. They also wanted to know more about achieving the National Association of Student Council (NASC) Award. Best wishes on achieving BOTH!
