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.

11/11: RESTORE RESTORES HUMANITY!

Did you know there is a store in Hawaii that takes donated tools and building supplies, fixes and/or cleans them and resells it to the public at a discount?  Well, the ReStore does just that!  This store is run by Habitat for Humanity and is located in Kalihi near Princess Kaiulani  Elementary School.  Besides tools and building supplies, they also accept furniture, books, and artwork.  Our task today was to help sort and display building supplies and paint as well as occasionally assisting customers.  In addition, we also received little background into what the store is all about and why Habitat for Humanity runs it.  his was a good way to spend a rainy Saturday morning!

Learning about the organization!

Getting tips on carrying loads!

So many cabinet knobs!

ALL this paint needs mixing?

Does this look "sellable?"

Job well done!
