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.

11/10: CB DAY DRAWS RECORD CROWD!

Veterans' Day is also traditionally Campus Beautification Day.  While most CB Days attract 150-200 volunteers, this year's event drew exactly 250 volunteers, the most since we started official sign in sheets, but the actual total is probably closer to 300 as there were two athletic teams who did projects but did not sign in.  Because there were so many volunteers, most of the tasks were completed before the end time of 10 a.m.  Tasks included repainting "No Loitering" stripes, classroom cleaning, landscaping, cafeteria window cleaning, gum scraping, litter pick-up, table and bench painting, recycle bin cleaning and of course, the traditional repainting of the "M's," in Mene Square and in front of the Student Center.  MANY THANKS go out to our administrative team who helped us gain access to various classrooms and buildings, the advisors of all participating grade levels and clubs, athletic team coaches for soccer, volleyball, and air riflery, and most importantly to all 250+ student volunteers who gave up part of their holiday to help beautify the school!  Thanks also to all organizations, alumni and individuals who donated refreshments and supplies!
