Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/24: OKAERINASAI!

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.

10/24: OKAERINASAI!

Yes, welcome back, Hiroshima Kokutaiji! Every October we welcome our sister school to our campus. Students from Hiroshima spend the day in activities and conversation as well as eating a school lunch and taking a tour. We try to show them some of our cultural activities and they in turn instructed us on how to do a cultural Japanese dance. In the end, everyone had fun and learned a lot from each other and any language barriers seemed non-existent. Thank you to World Language chair Jaime Tateyama for coordinating the day's activities and to all World Language teachers and our school administrators.
