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.

12/6: IHS PROJECT AN EYE-OPENER!

Our November/December service project was held at the Institute for Human Services Women's Shelter in Kalihi.  The task for the day was to sort clothing donations and place them onto racks by size and gender.  There were mounds of donations and, while we were not able to sort every single item, we managed to  do about two thirds of the amount.  The eye-opening experience was the simple fact that there were dozens of homeless women and children who at first seemed unapproachable but as the day wore on we found them to be quite warm and friendly.  It is unfortunate that people are in this situation, and we were happy to be able to do something for them.

Waivers in hand, we're READY to work!

This is a LOT of donations!

Mission accomplished!
