Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/28: FRESHMAN ORIENTATION X 4

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.

10/28: FRESHMAN ORIENTATION X 4

This year, Freshman Orientation took on a few new twists because of the pandemic. First of all, the live assembly was pushed back to today, October 28, instead of the usual day in early August. Then, because of social distancing requirements, the class was broken up into four groups, requiring four sessions that lasted from 8:30 until 2:45 to allow gym cleaning in between. And of course, the freshmen themselves were required to sit at least 6 feet apart in the bleachers. But everything we normally do in the orientation was covered, including the live campus tour! Thank you to the administrators and all teacher volunteers who helped assist throughout the day! Thanks also the AD, Mr. Kawachi and his staff for cleaning the gym between sessions!
