Moanalua High School Student Association: 3/25-26: THE RETURN OF THE RETREAT!

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.

3/25-26: THE RETURN OF THE RETREAT!

The pandemic shut down practically everything a year ago, and that included our annual planning retreat. BUT NOT THIS YEAR! With vaccines rolling out and better knowledge about how COVID works, we forged ahead and held the retreat at our "home" hotel, the Pagoda. There were 16 participants, 13 of whom stayed overnight, one person to a room, plus two staff chaperones. We managed to complete all of the goals we set out to do including planning for the BIG THREE early events: Leadership Conference, Welcome Back Assembly, and Homecoming, plus include our two walking trips to Ala Moana Shopping Center and a late night side trip to Don Quijote for snacks. Thank you to all the parents who allowed their girls (it was 100% female) to participate!
