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.

1/12: A SOGGY OHANA DAY!

Happy New Year!  Well, as always, we manned the volunteer booth at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii's (JCCH) Ohana Day, but a few twists this year.  Because of the wet, windy and rainy weekend, Ohana Day was restricted to the JCCH building only.  That meant all of the usual activities that are held across the street at Moili'ili Field had to be moved (food and games) or canceled (bounce rides, mochi pounding).  This also meant the volunteer booth had to be moved as well, making it a more cramped smaller tent.  Nevertheless, we managed and were able to sign in all the volunteers which included students from various schools across the island.

Soggy, but ready to work!

Punahou was the first to register...

.....as always!

It was this way ALL day!
