Moanalua High School Student Association: 11/19: FOOD DRIVE JUST MISSES THE RECORD!

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.

11/19: FOOD DRIVE JUST MISSES THE RECORD!

What is notable in the title is that we just missed the 2013 record of 12,321 DESPITE the fact that we are presently in the midst of a global pandemic! It is great to know that people will turn out in force to help struggling families survive the crisis. When the food truck came, the driver noted that this was an unusually large donation for a school. Normally, we need only 2 pallets. This time, we required 5. He did not bring enough pallets, so he had to use a large hand cart as well. We thank everyone who made a donation, no matter how big or small, because every food item and every dollar counts! The actual competition is merely a small incentive for students to give. Here are the final results:

1st: JUNIORS

5647 points, 11.25/student

2nd: SOPHOMORES

2653 points, 5.07/student

3rd: SENIORS

1569 points, 2.99/student

HR Winner: ISHIDA (11)

987 points, 36.6/student

GRAND TOTAL:

11,794 points
