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.

5/11: PROJECT PURGE, PLANT AND PICK-UP!

It was the 4 P's project day:  Purge, Plant and Pick-up at Piliokahe (Beach Park).  The project was in three phases:  purge the area of non-native species, follwoed by planting of native species, and finally picking-up litter.  It was a beautiful but hot day at the beach, and it needed a lot of cleaning.  Piliokahe is a public beach, but it does not see much government maintenance.  Today's sponsor was the Malama Learning Center through Kapolei High School science teacher Jeremy Soriano.  About 2/3 of the volunteers were Kapolei students and we completed the remaining third.  It was fun to work with students from another school and also learn about the environment and a bit of Hawaiian history as well.  Thank you to Mr. Soriano and the Kapolei crew for organizing such a great project!  We hope to work with you again!
