Moanalua High School Student Association: 3/14: GREEN DAY WITH A "WALKOUT" TWIST!

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.

3/14: GREEN DAY WITH A "WALKOUT" TWIST!

This year's annual GREEN Day came with a little extra activity on campus: a student "walkout" to honor victims of the Parkland, Florida shooting. It was a bittersweet day. The winning Period 5, Mr. Cambe's social studies class, managed to get 31 of 31 students to participate! This was followed by a solemn tribute to the 17 victims of the shooting, but ended with a rousing speeches by two students, one speaking on the topic of gun control, and the other asking fellow students to look within themselves and stop bullying or saying negative things about each other either online or in person, and just be kind to one another. It was an awesome way for students to get two viewpoints on the walkout and come away with a lot to think about in the next few days!
