Moanalua High School Student Association: 8/14: OPEN HOUSE CONFLICT DOES NOT DETER VOLUNTEERS!

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.

8/14: OPEN HOUSE CONFLICT DOES NOT DETER VOLUNTEERS!

Open House normally occurs during the second week of school and usually on a Wednesday evening. This year, the decision was made to hold it on a Thursday evening in direct conflict with marching band practice. While the band is on the field, there is the added parking crunch and noise. Still, about 50 volunteers showed up to help serve as guides for parents who need help finding classes. While this is only half of the usual number, it was still good enough to provide the necessary service. Most surprisingly was that the freshmen who usually have the fewest volunteers, actually had the most this year! Thank you to ALL the volunteers who came out to help!
