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.

2/27-3/2: SPIRIT WEEK DRESS-UP DAYS GET LUKEWARM PARTICIPATION!

February 27:  Hat Day (Wlodyka, Period 1)
February 29:  Polka Dot Day (Brooks, Period 3) - front three only
March 1:  Princess Peach Pink Day (Sze, Period 1)
March 2:  Mustache Day (Balsis, Period 4)
Try as we might, when the officers discuss what dress-up days to do during Spirit Week, we always try to think of options where it will not cost students anything, would be something they already have or can easily make.  It was a little surprising then, that one winner had only four participants, and one day had NO winner!  Still, it ended with a flourish as the last day, Mustache Day, was won with a 100% participation rate!
