Moanalua High School Student Association: 1/14: HAPPY OHANA DAY!

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.

1/14: HAPPY OHANA DAY!

It's the start of a new year, and that means Ohana Day at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii! For many years, this has become a traditional project. Past officers have done almost every job from manning the game tent, supervising the bounce rides, taking surveys, upkeeping the bookstore, and preparing KC Waffle dogs. For the last three years, however, we seem to have found a home in the volunteer booth, registering ALL of the volunteers for both shifts. One great thing about working this booth is that the coordinator, Charlene Yamamoto, is a Moanalua alum! It just doesn't seem like a new year until we work at Ohana Day! So, a belated Happy New Year to all, and hope you had a chance to attend this year's Ohana Day at the JCCH!
