Moanalua High School Student Association: 8/26: R.E.S.P.E.C.T!

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.

8/26: R.E.S.P.E.C.T!

RESPECT! How does one get it? How do we improve it through activities? That was the main topic today as student leaders from every middle/intermediate school in the Central District visited Moanalua High School to be trained in the Interactive Method (IM) of meeting. This is a process where every person in the group has a say in the final decision, and that final decision is reached by consensus. Most of the groups preferred some sort of Spirit Week or similar event where school wide games and activities are held to promote pride. We hope that by the time the workshop ended that every student leader was able to understand and use IM in their future decision making activities.
