Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/17: MOANALUA WELCOMES HIROSHIMA KOKUTAIJI!

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.

10/17: MOANALUA WELCOMES HIROSHIMA KOKUTAIJI!

Over 250 students and staff members from Hiroshima Kokutaiji made their annual visit to Moanalua today, even with looming tropical storm Ana approaching. The students were treated to a day filled with conversation time, activities, lunch, and dancing, and in turn, the Hiroshima students also gave Moanalua students a taste of Japanese culture. Even with the obvious language differences, students from both schools had no problem communicating. Thank you to all Moanalua staff and students involved, but especially to event coordinator Sensei Cindy Wong who had everything running smoothly the entire day.
