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.

11/27: NEW RECORD FOR LINKS OF THANKS!

Measuring the links on the athletic field!

Then, hauling all of them back upstairs!

Getting ready to display links in the cafeteria!

Getting started....

filling up the inside....
and the outside!

This is what it's all about!
Three years ago, the S.A. Executive Council started "Links of Thanks," an activity where students write short notes of thanks on a construction paper strip, then link the strips together into a chain.  In that first year, 190 yards of links were created, a record that stood until this year!  This year, just over 250 yards of links were created, a NEW record!  More importantly, we hope that everyone had a moment to share for what they are thankful and head into the holiday season on a bright note.
 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
